E-Mail Inbox Button

When I ran Windows Live Mail, clicking the E-Mail Inbox toolbutton in Live
Messenger would load WL-Mail and display my Live Inbox.
I have un-installed WL-Mail as I am now using Outlook 2007 with Outlook
Connector. Is there any way of getting this toolbutton to load Outlook
rather than Internet Explorer?

Greetings Peter,

I'm afraid not. Live Mail interfaces directly with Messenger and otherwise it will load up
the default web browser. It's not just a simple registry change (or similar) as it actually
communicates with live mail. For instance when you get the mail notification in Messenger,
it will automatically do a send/receive.

However, I doubt very much there's anything stopping the Outlook Connector in the future
supporting this.

Hi Jonathan,
I have the opposite problem though!!! When I click the icon "open your email
inbox" on the top right in Live Messenger, Outlook 2007 opens instead....How
can I restore the original link to my Hotmail account instead??
