One irritation I have with Live Mail (or maybe it's some combination of that with the IE browser) is that the window it's open in seems to claim priority over other windows. E.g., if I refresh my mail and go to a different window before it finishes refreshing, the Live Mail window will switch back to itself as the top window on my display. I could swear I've seen a Windows setting somewhere that disables this but can't find it now. I'm using W2K for my OS if it matters.
