Open to Inbox

Is there any way to get 2009 WLM to "always open to inbox"

It always does. How many email accounts have you got and which folder
does it "automatically" displays?

The clue is in the word "Automatically". I suggest go to Tools >>
Options and then see if there is any such word under "General" tab.

Add /mail to the target of the shortcut you use to launch the program (there's a space before the '/').

The target should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /mail

There have to be quotes enclosing the full path to the exe file because it contains spaces. If the quotes weren't there, the target would be read as C:\Program and you'd simply get an error message. Note that the (x86) will only be there on a 64-bit system.

Hi, Jeff.

As Noel said, the command line should look like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /mail

The " /mail" switch must be OUTSIDE the quotation marks, since it is not a
part of the FQN (Fully Qualified Name), including the full path to the
file - starting with C: and ending after the actual filename.ext.

Thanks, that worked. It took me awhile but it worked.
