Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta Build 8.0.1084 is now available for download.

Here are just a few of the great new updates you’re going to see in this build:

• More bug fixes
  Over 150 of them since the last refresh build including lots of accessibility and stability updates
• Current View settings are now sticky 
  We admit it, we made a mistake.  In the last refresh build, every time WLMd was launched, the Current View settings were lost and needed to be reset.  What a pain especially when reading newsgroups!  I’m happy to announce that this has now been fixed.
• Update Feeds Button
  In the RSS tab, we have added a new button for you to be able to automatically sync all your RSS feeds.
• Easier Help Options
  Now under Help you’ll see the option for getting Technical Support.  This will take you right to our Support site so you can fill out a ticket and get assistance from our support team!
• Minimizing to System Tray
  I think I may have just heard a small roar of excitement from our Beta testers. J  You all have been asking for this one for a while, so here you go!
• Support for Windows Live ID sign in (for non-MSN Mail, Hotmail, and Windows Live Mail account holders)
  Adding the ability to use non-Windows Live ID accounts in WLMd was a popular customer request and I am super-psyched that we are able to provide it for you!  You can now sign in to WLMd using any Windows Live ID account, not just one that has an email account associated with it (such as @messengeruser.com).  And for those who don’t yet have a Windows Live ID, WLMd allows you to create one as a part of sign-in! Remember that this is a very new feature for us so please spend some time playing with it and let us know what you think!
