Thread: OMG, imagine...

I'm also starting to find things rather easily. It's starting to grow on me. There are quite a few hidden features, that are not hidden very well. I have found Paul Thurrott's Win 8 Supersite a great site to open up some of these hidden features.

The word empathy comes to mind, Ted

Is this in WLM, Mike? Or the Mail App?

PS: it grows on you & quickly

He is talking about the mail app. I was logged in with my Email address, so the problem did not arise until I tried to put in a second pop address. I chichened out and installed Live Mail, with which I am familiar and Works like a charm (no pun!)

Yeah, some of the Apps are still a bit rough around the edges, right now. & yea, WLM is darn fine so, cool

Puzzled me for a long time too Mike.
Just move your mouse cursor to the top (way top) of any metro app you have running on your screen. Click and drag it off the screen at the bottom. You will see it turn into a large thumbnail looking thing and when you release it it should close.
Also mouse hover near top left of screen will produce "Switcher" moving it down vertically should produce a tab like feature where you should be able to right click running apps and select close.

For those who used Outlook Express 6 in XP and want to still get that effect in Windows 7 (which I'm sure will be around for quite a while) I've given the path to activate Windows Mail in Win-7, many times already. But I'll not take up space here, going through that again, other than to say if someone wants help with that, just PM me and I'll be glad to help.

I too would use Thunderbird for my email program if I were to have to use Windows 8.

At least for a GMail account, Thunderbird almost sets itself up automatically. Very simple.

Cheers mates!
