    Question on Windows 7 / Windows Live Mail


    Hi -

    I recently bought a new Windows 7 computer and have Windows Live Mail 2011 installed on it. There are 5 tabs at the bottom, one of which is calendar. This in turn has a feature that I have often hoped for, called reminder, which sends an e-mail to remind of an appointment.

    Yet on my computer, the reminder icon (an icon with a bell in the top row) is grayed out and I cannot seem to get it to work or to activate.

    How would I go about activating this feature so that I can start using it?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    You need to sign in to a Windows Live account for this to function.

In the "From" column of Windows Live Mail, there is a small green arrow over the envelopes on some emails. What does this represent ? I have tried looking about everywhere else without ANY success~~~
