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.

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When you save an email message as an .eml draft file, the file type icon looks rather outdated.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.

Downloading IMAP Folders animation has an old animation
When Mail downloads the folders in IMAP, it decided to remind you how much they have come from those 256-color bitmaps to 256x256 icons in full color and transparency glory.
The dialog itself is also old.
Replace it.

Add SMS (text) messaging to web Messenger
The web based Messenger in Mail and People does not allow you to send SMS messages (text messages) to phones that people have set up expressly for this purpose. Since web Messenger only works in mail and People it seems like it would be a good place to (more...)
Add a menu item allowing messages to be sent via SMS to offline contacts.

Allow Linux users to access the full hotmail
Whenever I visit Hotmail, I get the light mode. I use Firefox. It's even more annoying when I use Midori (a WebKit browser) and an error saying I should use a different browser, when it uses the exact same engine as safari!
Allow Linux users to access the full mode.

Closing the "add E-mail account" window presents an older dialog. (Windows live mail)
When you are in Windows Live mail, and click on "add E-mail account" and then exit the wizard, you are presented with an older dialog. Also, it has improper wording.
"Do you want to close the window without finishing" (more...)
Remove it as its a violation of the Windows Vista UX Guidelines[1].

Clean up Windows Live Help Central
When I visit help central, I find that all the products there are outdated and the list is poorly done:
From the wave 2 build, (Hotmail Classic, Full...etc.)
Betas, (Calendar Beta, LPG Beta, Skydrive Beta???)
and have numerous (more...)
Clean up all outdated information and update names of products etc. Make it less cluttered.
I know some countries are still using Wave 2, but at least update the information so that it matches Wave 3 as well.
