Add a better calendar date selector to the web based Live Calendar.

Submitted by mjflynt on March 10, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

In the desktop Windows Live Mail app the calendar selector on the left hand side has a year mode that is accessible by clicking the month and year at the top of it. This allows you to jump several years into the future or past without a whole lot of clicking. For example, to get to Dec 21st, 2012 it requires 46 clicks in the web app, while in the desktop app it requires 6!

A calendar date selector control in the web app like there is in the desktop app so you can switch to year view in the web app.
