This week, we announced an update to Windows Live Essentials (including the new Windows Live Movie Maker—pretty slick!). It also includes some updates that address customer and compatibility issues in Windows Live Mail. You can install it from http://download.live.com . In particular: Windows Live Mail can now properly import Outlook Express mail account settings that were transferred from a Windows XP to a new Vista or Windows 7 system using the Windows Easy Transfer wizard. Some users had problems launching Windows Live Mail and we have addressed this. In some cases, after you closed Windows Live Mail, the application would appear to close, but the wlmail.exe process would continue to run in the background. That process would prevent Mail from launching in the future. On Vista and Windows 7, Windows Live Mail wouldn’t connect properly to POP email servers using SSL. In particular, this affected some users of Yahoo! Mail. The update is version ...

Hey all! Last week we released a new update on our servers and fixed bugs on the following issue s: Syncing Calendar: No more super-high CPU usage! You will no longer see errors resulting from a high CPU usage for the couple of minutes after the calendar sync. Also, you'll also see fewer error messages in general - we fixed some issues with checking for new calendar updates and meeting requests. Shared Calendars: We’ve fixed some of the rules for settings – so now, when you change the calendar settings for a shared calendar, it is updated for all of the other participants. T hanks for all of your feedback (and keep it coming!) We hope you enjoy using Calendar both on the web and in Windows Live Mail! -Janani

I don’t know about you, but I like to spice up my surroundings with a little color. A white wall in a room or a white dinner plate on a table is really just the perfect canvas for something colorful – some stripes of paint or a great tomato sauce (you choose which goes on the wall and which on the plate J). I like to have the same experience on my computer – let’s be honest, I spend far more hours staring at the screen than I do that wall or that plate – and it’s been both fun and useful for me to personalize the colors in Windows Live Mail. In the latest build of Mail, there are three areas you can play with and customize colors for: 1. The frame 2. Each email account header & the email titles 3. Each calendar & the events associated with it Here’s an example of how my email account list looks: I’ve made the frame green (using this button on the toolbar: ) and then colorized each account differently. Oooh, pretty. I find the colors both fun & ...
