Is there any way to make the popup window that appears when you have new POP mail stay up until click it?  If not, is there a way display the number of pop messages plus hotmail messages where the number of hotmail messages is already displayed?

Question 1: No, I doubt that patchou would create such a feature, as it would get rather annoying, as the email is checked x amount of seconds, so if you can't be bothered to check your emails, or keep getting spam, then this little toast would keep coming up, and staying there forever, it would just get rather annoying, therefore, I doubt it would be added... I'm sure that it stays for the same amount of seconds as the normal MSN Messenger toasts.

Question 2: I doubt that Patchou would do this either sorry, as this would mean editing the protocol, or patching MSN Messenger, patching msn messenger is illegal, so Patchou likes to steer clear of it, sorry...

It would be nice to see the second one in the versions, but you're going to have to rely on patches by other people to get these features...

In MSNM6, the totals are in fact added. In MSNM7, click the Plus icon.
