OK that's fine. It's no big deal it just would be nice to at least have the
option for a private log on/quick email check without having co-workers see
i'm on line and suddenly bombard me with stuff (as even if i change my status
to appear offline asap they can still see the log on).

By the way, I am a genuine Beta tester but the help links for most of the
Beta stuff rarely work.

Thanks.

None, because that's the way it's designed to work. If you look at your
contacts, you'll see that the only contacts available are those in your
Messenger profile.

There are more appropriate newsgroups for discussion about this program and
you should post questions, suggestions, problems, etc., to those newsgroups
as outlined at the same link where you obtained the program assuming you are
an authorized beta tester for the program.

Hi
Have just downloaded Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta and like the look of
it
very much. Have one minor problem however; when logging on it
automatically
logs me into windows messenger (which I don't want it to do) but I can't
access it's sub-menus in toolswindows messengeretc to stop it from doing
this automatically because it's shaded in the menu.

I have Messenger Beta on my PC too but having the settings on this set to
my
preferences doesn't seem to stop Live Mail Desktop from logging me on,
irrespective of whether I'm logged on or off or set to appear 'as offline'
with Messenger Beta.

Any suggestions?
