How do I get rid of the prompt to sign up to Windows Live Mail
Every time I start Win Live Mail I get a prompt to sign up. I use my own mail server and do not wish to use the online live mail.
How do I stop this prompt from appearing (apart from signing up)?

Hello Robert,
If you would like to uninstall the program, go into your control panel>uninstall programs and find "windows live essentials". Click uninstall. It will lead you to a screen asking if you want to uninstall specific programs or the whole thing. Choose specific and check off windows live mail on the next screen. That should do the trick.
*edit - in re-reading your post I realize likely you seem to want to use live mail. In that case, I don't rightly know | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built PC (In French it is called "PC de moi")

Just line him up in your sites, and let him have it! 
Seriously......Try this,: Windows Live Mail - New Mail Notification Sound you might be able to reverse engineer this.
Something a little better..... Windows Live Messenger - Taskbar or Notification Icon

Same problem here with WLM 2011. Tried above solutions and neither worked. If I don't sign in to start with, I get the prompt window and the button to not sign in is dimmed. If I go ahead and sign in, I can then click the button to not sign in. I get warning I won't be able to sync etc (no loss, imo), and then I click it. Open an email, click photo email button and the sign in window returns with the don't sign in button dimmed. | | My System Specs | | OS windows 7 professional 32 bit and windows 7 home 64 bit and windows xp sp 2

Sounds like everything is working properly.

There's a simple way of converting a photo email into an attachment - the recipient needs to have a Windows Live account to access a photo email, which is a pain. | | My System Specs | | How do I get rid of the prompt to sign up to Windows Live Mail problems?
