Just checked my inbox and it's finally been updated to version 6. I like the new feature of being able to automatically disable opening emails, but other than that not a huge difference. Nice though :)

Oh, and they changed the cool orange to a crappy sick yellow. I want my orange back! Huff

You can change the colorscheme by selecting Customize.... it's kinda cool. Red for me ;)

RE: New Live Mail by kierant on 05-15-2006 at 11:12 PM

Yeah I can change the colours perfectly fine...just that in the previous version the orange they had on offer was a lot nicer than the one they (for some reason) replaced it with in this new version. All the other colours have stayed the same.

Edit:

Btw, I don't have red as an option *-)

What I like best is the removal of that adbar at the right when reading mail, and the re-inclusion of signatures. Plus, everything just feels more solid and cohesive.

    * Firefox support - includes drag and drop and signatures but doesn't include spell checker and the resizable splitters between message list and reading pane.
    * Better performance and faster loading times
    * Effective UI tweaks and ability to change colours on the fly (notice the new loading grahpic is the same as in the most recent Windows Live Messenger beta)
    * The return of signatures
    * More 'Classic Hotmail' updates
    * Don't auto select first message when the inbox is loaded
    * Policy changes meaning accounts expire in 120 days if inactive instead of the old 30 days limit
    * Compose button is displayed on every page
    * Subscribe to contact updates
    * Contact display name choice

Is the features I found out. :P

Might be because you are using older version than 1.5 .. you at least need 1.5 to get it to work somewhat like with IE.
