edit it then but on emails it will appear as Martin ... for the last name for example

its not a problem since i dont have a hotmail,, i use gmail for all my mail. Thanks!

Downloaded this yesterday and I think I may have identified a Windows Live Mail issue (Build 15.4.3502.0922). I'm syncing with my ___@live.com account.

In the Sent Items about 50% of my outgoing messages are not properly displaying the "To" field. In those "To" fields it shows my name rather than the recipient. The correct To field will only display properly when the individual message is opened. I don't have this issue looking at the same messages in Outlook 2010.

I don't know if other people are/were having trouble installing this over the beta, but I was! I tried to install a number of times and got close~ 95% plus. Then it would tell me that it could not install one part so it did not install any. Finally I thought I would uninstall the beta and start over. The uninstall gave me the option to repair so I did that. It churned away for awhile and then told me to to restart. Them I tried again to install the new and it went right through to the end. Mission accomplished! So if you are running into this type of difficulty try the 'repair' option on uninstall.

Better yet, instead of repairing the beta and then installing the final version over the beta, just uninstall the beta and install the final version.

Anyway to allow Windows Live Mail to keep running and minimize to the system tray like Microsoft Security Essentials?

+1, I'd like to know as well, but I need to look further into the options maybe I missed it.

Set the options to check for new mail and set an alarm. And then hit the minimize button at the top of the main page.

Is this a tip to keep it running in the system tray? because if it is, its not working for me... :'(
