Home page for Windows Mail

I just got Windows Vista and Windows Mail is on it rather than Outlook
Express, same thing really, but my question is in Outlook Express you had a
home page of sorts and it would tell you how many messages you had and it had
a side bar with tips. Windows Mail does not seem to have it and I don't like
who sent me emails showing on my desktop when opened. Is there a way to get
the home page?
Thanks,
Denise
 
I think Windows Mail always opens to your Inbox by default. The only thing
that's similar to the old home page is clicking Local Folders at the top of
the navigation pane. But I don't recall seeing any option to make that open
by default.
There may be some other way around it. What don't you want to see when you
first open Mail? Just not current messages, no messages at all, or just the
sender addresses?
 
It's amazing how resistant people are to change! ;-)

Just think how much more productive you'll be by
immediately being able to read and respond to messages.
After all, that is the purpose of an email program.

FYI, Microsoft does studies of how people actually use
their programs, and the findings often get incorporated
in the next version of that program.

LOL - I'm pretty sure the reason they had it go straight to the Inbox was
because in XP they got 8,543,435 messages like this:

That was removed in WinMail. You can't go to an opening page like that
anymore.
