I just put the latest version of Windows Live Mail on my Windows 7 PC.

How do I make it so I can close it but it's still in the tray receiving emails?
I know its set up like that on my XP laptop but MSN Messenger did that by default...

No Idea. I've never used it. Don't you just love how M$ decided not to include an email client in Window$ 7?

I love how you can get it for free from their website.
And Outlook Express absolutely sucks!

I think I have an older version of Windows Live Mail on my laptop (Win XP) because it looks a little different...

Sure OE was bad, but I hate WLM even more, largely thanks to that stupid ribbon interface.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but is this on XP, Vista or 7?
