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?

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.

Where? It should not be publicly available! I'd strongly advise you to
_not_ use illegal software.

If you are indeed a member of the private Beta, then you should know
about Connect and the private newsgroups where all issues should be
*exclusively* discussed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Probleme mit OE? Hier gibt es die Lösungen: http://oe-faq.de!

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.

You should be able to modify your Contacts ability to be seeing your online
status via the Privacy tab in Messenger, depending on version installed.
