When you open windows live mail by cliking on the icon should it open up automatically before you even sign in? If not how do I change this? Using 2011
I want to remove outlook from my mac as I never use it but in some cases, even when I selected mail as the default app, Outlook is launched by an ics attachment. I still use word and powerpoint sometimes so I would like to keep it. I was told the only way was to remove Office 2011 completely. is there another workaround? I just want to get rid of Outlook for good.

Thanks for the help
Outlook 14.2.3 and Mtn Lion 10.8, 
Inbox is not updating changes to the server, new messages come in but any items that are deleted or moved are not updated on the server.  
I have emptied Cache several times and this is not working.  
IPhone mail is working fine and mirrors the server so its a sync issue of some kind from Outlook. Please help?
I am getting the following error messages. I am able receive messages but cannot send. 

The connection to the server has failed.

because i had to puchase a new tower i now have windows live mail.  when i try to open an email it takes a few tries a msg. comes up that says "an error came up when trying to open windows live mail......try again."  eventually i can open it but it's very annoying .... Carole B
If I run a search in Outlook Mac 2011, I am unable to drag any of the search result emails into an email I am drafting, All I get is an attempt to highlight multiple search results.  I am able to drag and drop from my Outlook mail folder (i.e., when I am not displaying search results).  This wouldn't be so bad if Outlook would allow me to "copy" one of the emails in my search results, but it won't.  Instead, I have to remember the date and folder in which the target email resides, go to that folder, and drag and drop it from there.  A real pain if you are trying to drag and drop multiple emails as attachments.  Help?
