Using Outlook Live 2007, and Windows Live Messenger 9 together

[Jason Telford]

I have a premium email account from the msn.com domain, for which I pay a
subscription and I am using Microsoft Outlook Live 2007 as my default mail
client. However, when I click the "get mail button" (been the little picture
of the envelope) in Windows Live Messenger [version 9] - it does not open my
Microsoft Outlook 2007 program and instead opens my web-browser and takes me
to the Windows Live Hotmail (web based email) version of my Email Account.

I want Windows Live Messenger to open my Outlook Live 2007 Email Client when
I click on the "get mail button" (been the little picture of the envelope)
rather than my web-browser because I use tags, flags and automatic scheduling
of appointments and meetings (all of which are not available in the web-based
version of my email account, but which are through my Outlook 2007 Client"

I realize that I can just open the Outlook Live 2007 email client when I see
that I have received a new email while signed into WLM9 but I would just like
WLM9 to open the default Outlook Live 2007 as a conveyance rather then having
to go into the start menu and open it that way

I am using Microsoft Windows Vista Premium just in case this would make any
difference to anything

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question but I thought
that this was a Outlook issue

This problem has been arround for as long as I can remember and AFAIK there
is no way round it. It has affected all versions of MSN and Live messenger
and all versions of outlook. The problem is with Messenger just defaulting
the mail client, not with Outlook per se. So it might be worth posting your
question in the messenger group rather than here.

If you do find a solution I would be interested to here it but I've lived
with it for as long as I can remember.

Thanks,
I though it was an Outlook Problem I was having or wasnt doing something
right with. Anyway thanks for the information. I will post in the Messenger
Forum but other then that looks like I will just have to manually load my
email client.
Thanks Again
