another way around emoticons

Submitted by bflatbush on March 11, 2010 to Annoyance

Cartoon emoticons replacing typed emoticons automatically on windows live mail.

I found putting an extra space in between the colon and parenthesis will not convert to the irritating emoticon on windows live mail. So instead of :) try : ). It still looks good! I'd still like Windows mail to give us the option of turning (more...)

Controlling Folder Permissions in Subfolders

Submitted by joshwoods on March 17, 2010 to Usability

Now, you can only share a root folder with specific people or make it public. Going past the root folder and into subfolders doesn't allow the permissions to be changed.

Implement the ability to control the permissions of subfolders.

WLM doesn't use the system color for menu bar

Submitted by Aethec on March 20, 2010 to Aesthetics, Annoyance

The menu bar in WLM's Contact lists, which appears if you press Alt, doesn't use the system color. But it uses the system color for the hover effect.
This looks ugly on non-default themes.

Use system color.

How to stop Windows Live Messenger from opening when Hotmail is opened?

Submitted by joprosmith on April 7, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Whenever I go and check my Hotmail emails, Windows Live Messenger always opens. And I can't find an option anywhere to disable this.

There has to be someway to disable this annoyance. Come up with a fix to solve the problem.

Screensaver won't start when Windows Live Messenger is running

Submitted by huntah302 on March 28, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug

I set the Bubbles screensaver to start after 1 minute, but when Windows Live Messenger is running, no matter how long I leave my computer inactive, the screensaver doesn't kick in, nor does any of the power saving settings for that matter!

Fix the problem.

How to import my mails?

Submitted by fmroska on April 6, 2010 to Usability

I have formatted my hard drive. Previously I have been storing all the mails in a folder in a different partition to recover if something like this happens.
I have gmail / yahoo / hotmail / accounts, and I made this just to not have to download (more...)
