When Flash is not installed, the Welcome to Messenger screen is somewhat broken
If you do not have Flash installed, the Welcome to Windows Live Messenger screen is broken and doesn't offer any additional content.
Don't display the message and offer some content for those who didn't installed Flash. While you're at there, switch to Silverlight? :P

Stationery setup wizard is wizard97 style
In Windows Live Mail, when I go and select stationery when composing a message, and select create new, the resulting wizard is wizard97 style rather than Aero wizard style.
(At least it uses the Segoe UI font! :) )
Come on Microsoft, its not 1997 any more; update the wizard to be Aero Wizard style.

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.
Scrolling should not scroll the selected day but instead scroll through all the days smoothly with momentum (like picasa, or iphone momentum scrolling) with no 'jumping' to the next page.

Make the next/previous month more obvious in Live Mail's Calendar
When viewing the calendar in month view, it is not clearly obvious where the month starts an finishes without reading the numbers. You should just be able to SEE all the days in the month.
Make the squares of each month alternating in shade (more subtle than my image!) Or outline the month.

[Website Suggestion] Make this site use the Segoe UI font same as Windows 7 Taskforce does
The Seoge UI font is used widely across the Windows Live products, so why can't this actual site use the Segoe UI font?
Update this site to use the Segoe UI font same as Windows 7 Taskforce does.

when clicking "sign in... " at the tray icon, messenger opens main window, it doens´t sign in.
The tittle pretty much describes the problem. Why does the main window have to pop up when I have both my email and password saved? It should just sign in minimized.
None.

Windows Live Mail .eml, vintage icon
When you save an email message as an .eml draft file, the file type icon looks rather outdated.
Have it so that the icon used is exactly the same as Windows Vista's Windows Mail .eml file type icon.

Messenger's default smileys can't be changed
You can't change WLM's default smileys.
It's annoying because sometimes you find really good smileys, but you can't really use them since ":-)", ":-(", etc are already used.
Allow us to change the default smileys, and maybe add a "Reset default smileys" button.
