It is not a bug of any kind, nor does it have anything todo with Messenger Plus!. This is a 'new' Windows Live Messenger 'feature' by design.
(as such I've requested this thread to be moved to the appropiate place)
The change was done since non-hotmail Windows Live IDs are now always linked to an Hotmail inbox too.
To put it in another way: some time ago, Hotmail made it possible to also use Hotmail with a Windows Live Id which is not a hotmail/live email address. As such, now everyone has a Hotmail inbox, even those who do not have an actual hotmail email adres.
As such, that inbox icon in Messenger will now always redirect you to your Hotmail inbox. In the past it started your default email client, that is: Hotmail webppage for Windows Live Ids which consist of real hotmail/live email addresses and the software client defined in "default programs" for Windows Live Ids which consist of non-hotmail/live emails.
As far as I know you can not change this, unfortunatly.
And I'm not sure if there is a patch yet which would revert it to the old behaviour (thus note: it does require advanced patching if you want to change that).
Thus for now, all you can do is ignoring that button and start your email client manually.

If you don't want your email address visible (very advisable) then I suggest you either re-edit that screenshot or remove it.
