I'm using Windows Live Mail (Previously known as Windows Live Mail Desktop) since many months and I'm very much impressed with it.

But when I installed the latest Windows Live Mail Beta version, I found a few BUGs in this version which I would like to share with you all:

FIRST BUG:

This BUG works in laptops:

1. Open WLM and right-click on its system tray icon and select "Hide window when Inbox is minimized" option.

2. Now minimize WLM and it'll move to System Tray and there'll be no button of WLM in taskbar.

3. Now close the lid and again open it.

4. VOILLA, you'll get WLM in taskbar again even you minimized it to System tray.

SECOND BUG:

1. Go to "Layout -> Folder Pane" and enable/disable "Use Compact View for Folder Pane" option.

2. Click on "Apply" button but don't close it. It'll totally disturb the left side pane.

THIRD BUG:

1. Again go to "Layout -> Active Search" and enable/disable "Show Active Search pane" option.

2. Click on "Apply" button but don't close the options window.

3. It'll not show the Active Search at right side until you close the options window. As soon as you click on OK or on Close button, you'll get Active Search at right side pane.

FOURTH BUG:

If you click on "Change Color Scheme" button at toolbar, WLM titlebar changes to inactive state.

Found quite a big bug, not sure if it's client or server. If you reply to a message and add Bcc terms, the header on the message gets mangled in transit and recipients can see the Bcc terms either as part of the malformed header or splatted into the message body. Reported to Microsoft but not holding my breath for a fix. Using version 12.0.1606, as downloaded today.

Off topic, well sort of. I use Windows Live Mail on my desktop and it shows a red background that is really annoying. How on earth can I change that? It does not happen on my laptop.

^^ Where do you see the red background?
