I recently installed Windows Live Mail 2012 (Build 16.4.3508.0205) on Windows 7 32bit to retrieve my emails from Outlook.com and Gmail.  

While I find the program does the job of managing emails well, it is lacking a good notification system for new messages and the ability to have the program minimised to the tray and free up space on the taskbar like in Vista.  Why the developers of this app decide to take away the option to minimise to the tray for Windows 7 is anybody's guess.

Currently I am experiencing inconsistent behaviour with Windows Live Mail.  The issue I have is while I do get notified of new messages arriving from my Gmail account, Windows Live Mail does not notify me of new mail from my Outlook accounts as it should do!

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

Thanks
