Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted June 24, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2010 I don't know how "official" this beta is.. the build date is June 7th. I believe there is an updated version within the last 2 weeks.

Another Canuck Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I don't know how "official" this beta is.. the build date is June 7th. I believe there is an updated version within the last 2 weeks. Considering it's up for download on the official windows-live-essentials-beta page, I'd say it's fairly official :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911970-windows-live-essentials-beta-out-now/page/25/#findComment-592810066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 24, 2010 Bing Toolbar and Default Manager. However, they can be uninstalled via Programs and Feature in the Control Panel. Still sucks that they were installed without an option to deselect them.

uus831 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Live Mail is great! The scenic ribbon looks really good. And, the performance of the program is very fast (I have just tried Mail and Messenger)!!

BoneyardBrew Member Posted June 24, 2010 Member Share Posted June 24, 2010 Is anyone else constantly getting disconnection errors? I seem to be maintaining a constant connection. Maybe it has to do with you being in the UK?

Another Canuck Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 If you want to choose what you want to install, you need this download: http://g.live.com/1rebeta4_webc/en/wlsetup-webc.exe It's still a web installer, but lets you select what to download.

sharp65 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The new mail client is pretty nice. My windows live ID is my gmail account, when I launched mail it already had my Gmail account configured and my calendar setup.

LightShadow Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I don't know how "official" this beta is.. the build date is June 7th. I believe there is an updated version within the last 2 weeks. That's odd then. Since that "Lyer" Guy said the build for Beta would be 15.4.xxxx. But it's 15.3 (Milestone 3). So unless they quickly change the builds, or have a Beta 2. It's this we have for now.

Evolution Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 How do I change the font size for the message title in the message list, it's larger than the previous version?
