Implement the ability to control the permissions of subfolders.

Smooth momentum scrolling in Live Mail's Calendar
When scrolling through the calendar with the mouse, it jumps to the day below which, and when it reaches the end of the screen it jumps and the screen shows the next month.

Make the squares of each month alternating in shade (more subtle than my image!) Or outline the month.

Windows Live mail should use the scenic ribbon
Windows Live Mail should ditch the use of the old menu system and adapt the use of the ribbon. Alow color options, as not everyone wants the blue, and live mail would be a strip down version of outlook, and aimed at the general consumer.
