Click on "E-mail Inbox" won't lead to Hotmail but MSN.com

First, nice work. Thanks.

I found a bug. When click on "E-Mail Inbox", WLM will lead me to the msn.com
website, instead of hotmail inbox. Neither does the "Open your e-mail inbox"
on the WLM window work. My e-mail adress is @msn.com not hotmail.com nor
live.com, and Firefox is my default browser, don't know if that's the
problem. I am glad to see Microsoft finally allow accessing inbox through our
browser of choice, but it doesn't work "yet". Please fix it.

Some suggestion, by the way, I don't really like the windows frame, can we
get rid of that please? Or, alternatively, like last version of WLM, hide the
frame and make those icons smaller, reside on the top right. I mean the outer
frame surrounding the WLM, with only Windows Live Messenger Beta and
Minimize, Maximize, and Close icons on it. The reason is that by removing it,
it could maximize the information available to users, nothing unimportant.

Ive got this problem too, it keeps going to msn.com when i click on the inbox
icon

can you please fix this, ill have to revert to the old msn till this is
sorted as i need quick access to my mailbox and not having to go through the
sign in everytime i receive a email

Thanks

I changed my default browser to IE and it started to work (with firefox
i got MSN).

Thanks for the tip, but I don't intent to change my default browser from
firefox to IE anytime soon.I might convert to Google Chrome if it keeps
improving though. Anyway, this bug is really annoying. I'd rather it always
opens in IE like it used to be. That way, I can still check access my e-mail
inbox through wlm without any problem. Is this going to be fixed soon? I
don't see anyone from the team answers here. I've been checking this thread
often, but no news is bad news in this case. I might just have to use the
older version.

Found a way to fix this problem, open IE then go to tools then click on
'internet options', next, go to the programs tab and click on 'set programs'
then 'set your default programs'. Finally click on IE then 'choose defaluts
for this program' and check the box next to 'internet link' and save. Your
mail should now open properly, the only problem is that it'll open in IE,
this is a better method than setting IE as your default browser though.

Note: this works for vista, not sure about xp :S

Thanks for the workaround. I am now actually using Windows Live Mail that
comes with the Live package to handle my mail, that's only temporary though.
I still prefer using the browser to do it either in IE or Firefox I don't
really care now, as long as I can access it properly not redirect to MSN.com.
I might try what you suggest, thanks. Does that mean all links in start menu
will open in IE by default once I do that?
