erm... i go through the small link on messenger...or when you sign in it gives you the opotunity to click the window that appears saying how many new mails you have. I also have a shortcut in the start menu but if i could have it in the OD it would be prefered.
Does this answer your question? Im not sure about mail programmes, ive just always used HM and recently got into this customization thing and wanted a hotmail ling for the OD. Maybe i should try this Firefox Thunderbird that seems to be popular, is that similar to Incredimail??
