Newsgroups names should be left-truncated instead of right-truncated
Suggestion:
Many newsgroups are named similarly, with only the far right portion of
the name being different. If you set the column width for the folder tree
at a nominal value, many newsgroups will appear to be identically named,
such as microsoft.public.windows...
It would be much more informative if the newsgroup name were truncated
at the left end instead of the right end.
ideally, we s...

Transfer Mail and Data Facility?
I am really impressed with the latest build of Live Mail Desktop and so far,
cannot recall a single error or lockup. Anyway, beta testing means that I
have a computer where I am constantly formatting the hard drive and loading
Windows as fresh.
My mailbox usage is around 10% which is sorted by many folders for different
purposes. The problem is that last time I installed Windows Live Ma...

Lousy color scheme
Nice that WLM has a color scheme button, but it doesn't do much.
As far as I can tell, it only changes the color of a section of the upper
part of the toolbar. The lower part of the toolbar always stays dark, TOO dark.
Especially in the message compose window, I have a hard time seeing the
Undo icon and the Spelling icon on my laptop screen. And what, pray tell,
are the two ghostly icons betw...

Cannot open messages
Friends,
I just installed WLM. All of my folders and list of emails appear, but none
of them will open. Every message I click on says "Windows Live Mail
encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your
computer for low memory or low disk space and try again." I've got 25 GB
free space on my computer! Can anybody please help???

receiving attachments in email
Just wanted to ask why is it when I get a attachment in an email that was
forward to me I have to also open it from the person that sent it to that
person? Why can't I just open it once and not have to open from the first
person that sent it. I have had it where I have open it about 5 or 6 time
until I get it from the first person that sent it out.
Is there a way I can just open it on...

Problem syncing RSS feeds
For some strange reason, not all of my RSS feeds are updated in WLM, even
though they are in IE. Has anyone else encountered (and, possibly, solved)
this problem? I've had it on XP and Vista, so I don't think a reinstall
would do anything.
Thanks,

Defer until date and time for sending e-mails
Would you please enable WLM the option in tools to set a 'defer until' date
for e-mails.
This would enable e-mails to be composed in advanced and when the date and
time arrive they will automatically sent.
This could be used for birthdays, anniversaries etc.
It would also be useful as the e-mail will be sent automatically when
integrated with a Hotmail account, as the e-mail can be ...

Enable Vista style "WPF" menus in the hard-coded menus with icons
Hi Microsoft.
Some of the menus in Windows Live Mail are hardcoded/custom-coded to allow
icons to exist at the left of the text. While these look great, they do not
use the Vista standard “Windows Presentation Foundation†(WPF) menu style
with the divider between the icons on the left and the text on right and much
more space between the icons and text. It would be great if Window...

Windows Live Database file
Would you please advise the name and location of the database file for
Windows Live Mail (WLM)?
It would also be helpful if the location of this file could be changed, as
we have a partition for data which is different to program files. It makes
data easier to backup.
Outlook’s database is *.pst and it would be excellent to know WLM’s.
Thanks in advance for your prompt response...

There needs to be more font sizes to select from and there needs to be a way for users to type in custom font pt size number settings
Hi Microsoft.
One of the key limitations of Windows Live Mail is you have to select from a
VERY FEW amount of "pre-set" font sizes (only six) and there is no way to
type in a custom font pt size like you can do in Office Outlook 2007 and
other E-mail programs. There needs to be more "pre-set" font sizes
available such as (9,11,13,16 etc), just as Office Outlook 2007 has many
"pre-set...

No delete on right click in newgroups?
Why is it that to delete a message or a group of messages form the newsgroup
interface I have to use the delete key or the the main menu, but I cannot do
it from the what would be the most obvious and convenient place - the right
click?
Is this an oversight, being that this is a somewhat beta product, or is this
by design? It seems you can do pretty much everything else from the right

Having to run as administrator to start WLM

many times on Vista home Premium. Installs OK, but when I run it, it keeps

deleted folders, rebooted, and everything else that I read that was
suggested, all to the same end.
However, strange but true, I found one thing that worked, star...
