Feed Integration in Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta
Bryan Starbuck from the Windows Live development team blogged about the RSS feed support in Mail Desktop Beta.
Their feed reading features are built on top of the Windows RSS Platform. That means you can read feeds in an email application that stays in sync with feeds you read in IE7.
Go check it out: https://spaces.msn.com/morethanmail/
Note (added 5/8/06): From the comments below, we get a lot of people sending feedback on Windows Live Mail (the new Hotmail) and Windows Live Mail Desktop (the new desktop client). We can't answer those questions.
You can send comments on Windows Live Mail team (formerly Hotmail) at
https://spaces.msn.com/mailcall/.
You can send comments to the Windows Live Mail Desktop team at:

Both teams would love to hear your feedback directly :)

I know this comment doesn't quite fit this post but I wanted to ask you guys if and when your new MS OnFolio will use the Windows RSS Feed list like IE 7 and soon to be Windows Live Mail Desktop. It also seems that this aquisition conflicts with what WLMD will be capable of as an RSS Reader. So are both of these products going to be combined in some way? I've been using Onfolio all day now and so far I love it, except for a few small things. One of them being not using the Windows RSS Feed List, and not integrating better in that aspect.
Thanks for your time,

On Onfolio: we don't have a specific timeline, but it's definitely something we're thinking about how and when to do. - Anonymous

2.Select Beta Opt Out.
3.Follow the instructions (please provide feedback if you can).
When you log in again, you'll be using MSN Hotmail. If you would like to use Windows Live Mail again you will need to sign up again at http://ideas.live.com.

Hello, just wanted to say that I have tried what Afzaal Mahmood said and it worked fine. I now have my original Hotail back with no problems. Thank you so much. I really hated the beta mail. - Anonymous

Please check this link in order to run steps to revert back to regular hotmail interface from the beta. This is part of the Windows Live Mail beta support and it worked perfectly.

I have windows live mail on my computer and I haven't been able to get into my inbox anymore. It is very irritating. How am I suppose to get my e-mails from colleges and friends? Some of those e-mails are very important and I can't get to them. I'd like to know a solution. - Anonymous

Does Big Bill G know about this? I suggest switching to GMail, its much better. I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't pulled Beta yet. Real egg on their faces with this rubbish. Even yahoo offers something way better! - Anonymous

To opt-out try the easy steps.
Log in to your account as you normally would. At this point you may get a partially loaded screen or other symptoms ( In order to opt out, you need to replace the end of the URL in your address bar AFTER you have tried logging in. You will replace all the text after “/mail/” .
See the screenshot in the link given below
(http://tk.files.storage.msn.com/x1pWjGVXX8SHGxOM_6_WBiqJKxxRsFIgbHsdV0V3hG1JFUy-3veZuvwqsCEJRhkyyH38KwC59JxdhF1exRSJh2l364PN9XnRDJnm0ZE9-nMxiECMU6IoIERRRlu7lPh5Ikt2PWbvXUQva8)
* In your browser address bar, replace the end of the address with: options.aspx?subsection=9
(your URL will look something like: http://by107w.bay107.mail.live.com/mail/options.aspx?subsection=9)
* Hit enter
*This will take you to the opt out page. Opting out will return you to the classic Hotmail interface.
Try this and it will work 100% .

The beta mail worked all right when I first got it, but now I can't even sign into my account--very frustrating.
I keep getting this yellow sign that says "Window's Live Mail wasn't able to complete this request. Microsoft may contact you about any issues you report." And then it says, "Return to Windows Live Mail," and, "Report this issue to Microsoft."
I'd really like to be able to check my email and disable beta, but how am I supposed to do that when I can't even get in??
Can someone please tell me whether this is the result of Windows Live Beta or something else? - Anonymous

I cannot opt out of Beta Mail because I cannot sign into my account. Nor can I send an e-mail to the Windows Live team to tell them to disable my account, because I live in China and certain websites are censored here - the Windows Live website.

how do i get rid of windows live mail i do not like it it is rubbish - Anonymous

Here are a couple of 'standard' MS features I am missing in the LIVE email product.
1. Moving up and down the mail list works with the roller - BUT - not with the arrow keys.
I prefer the roller when it is available, many mice are roller free.
2. When attempting to 'select' a portion of an e-mail for printing, the norm now is to click
and drag down as far as desired; even off the bottom of the window to the end of the text.
Currently I can only 'select' to the bottom of the current window. The work-around is to
click at the beginning of the 'select' portion and 'cntl,click' at the end after rolling
to the bottom of the selection.
If I were not spoiled with the great features of IE, I wouldn't miss it.
Over-all, I am pleased with the product and the customer awareness of limiting the advertisements.
Thank you, Arlen Charters, Orlando, Florida. - Anonymous
