So this is a new build? What's changed?

[lay_forat]

:devil:

[Ironman273]

Can you report stuff as junk mail? That's the main reason I stopped using the (I'm assuming) older build.

[ViperSnake]

What exactly is different about this new build?

[JT1985]

Outlook Express with a clumsy and amateuristically implemented GUI, not to mention rather slow. Why do I have adverts in this when i pay for hotmail? Definately has a long way to go. (and yes I'm aware that it is a beta, but really I expect better).

I don't think they have setup premium accounts for Windows Live yet so until they do even premium users will have them.

Also, this is an experiment for Microsoft so we all need to give our strong feedback about the placement of these ads. Personally, I don't mind small ads that are not in the way, but their ad "feature" is terrible.

[GenericAmerican]

I downloaded this on the weekend and to be honest I never thought I would see the day when I actually said to myself. I like this, and I am impressed.

Go... Go... Microsoft. :D

Thats exactly whats happening to me too :( . I have a live.be address and I live in the UK.

Its weird that it lets most people, but obviously not us, maybe to do with us being in the UK perhaps :unsure:

[Agnes Leroy]

I downloaded the program but it is showing an error..

anybody have similar experience?

Mine is working now, so all you need is change the default location to US and wait for less than one day and sign up for WLMD

You could try performing a repair. I had this issue... went to Add/Remove Programs, clicked 'Change' on the WLMD entry, and chose the Repair option. It repaired, and finished.

Then I started it up again, and it worked fine.

No gurantees though. WLMD has to be the buggiest Live product currently available. Works for some people, doesn't work for others. Your mileage may vary.

[Unimatrix Xero]

buggy aint the word... mine tried to find emails that aint even there and says that i have 22 new emails when i dont, it wont allow me to send an email... WOW buggy lol

EDIT:

this is what i get:

Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta could not download the requested message. It is likely that the message was removed or expired from the server. There is an error synchronizing your mail account, please call Microsoft support to resolve this issue. Subject 'Getting started with Microsoft Office Live Basics', Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v1.0.0/sync.aspx', Protocol: HTTPMail, Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x8009000F, Error Number: 0x8009000F

and this is only set up for my hotmail atm

I'm running this thing on Vista Public beta 2 and it keeps signing in automaticaly, without asking for my password. Now I know that with Vista Windows Mail identities are a thing of the past, you need to make a new user account in Vista for every user, which sucks if you ask me, it seems very unpractical to me. I mean how much disk space does a Vista user account take up for instance.

So maybe they are going along the same route with WLDM.

But anyway, does anyone know whether this automatic signing in is intended and can it be changed?

I looked on the Microsoft message boards for all the Live apps but couldn't find an answer there.

I just managed to sign up and get accepted with a UK ID, so I'm not sure what's going on here...

When is a new build expected to come out?

Windows Live Mail Desktop shows up as a category at Windows Update Website.

Wow, this is a lot better!

I had that "active search" bar though. Takes up too much space on my small 1280x1024 resolution/screen.
