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.

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.
