I can open the mail program in a "normal" window by clicking on it's
shortcut in the quick run bar but opening it from IE7 results in it being
minimized to the task bar. is there a way to open in a normal window from
the IE7 tool bar icon?
Thanks,
Bob
 
Is your question about clicking the "Read Mail" button on Internet Explorer
7? If so, that will open the default mail program in a normal window. If
you do not see that behavior, I would suspect you have several mail clients
installed and the default mail client is not set to Windows Mail.
 
My Windows Mail is set a the default and it's the only email program on the
computer. Clicking the "read mail" button on IE7 causes Windows Mail to open
minimized to the task bar. When I had XP and IE7 the mail program always
opened in a normal window. No idea why that's changed now.
Thanks,

I had the same problem. When I clicked on Read Mail in IE7 (with Vista
Windows Email), the window didn't open as a normal window. It was minimized
to the Task Bar. Also, my Messages Received were not automatically
downloading when I opened Windows Mail.

To fix it, try this: In Windows Mail, go to Tools, Options, General Tab.
Make sure that there is a checkmark in the box for "Automatically display
folders with unread messages." Hope this helps.
 
I am having same problem, and have tried the fixes listed here with no luck.
Any additional help would be appreciated.
