A lot of people, including myself, don’t use Hotmail based e-mail services, and an unfortunate side effect of even trying out the built in MSN messenger is the addition of “Windows Live E-mail” in the messaging application. On the T-Mobile Dash, when you use the right softkey to pull up options such as “Settings” and “Delete”, the “Delete” option is grayed out, so its almost as if you’re stuck with that.

Thankfully, deleting a registry key fixes the “issue” some of us face and removes the Windows Live E-mail option from the messaging application.

Using Total Commander (or any other registry editor), find the following key:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\Windows Live

T-Mobile Dash Running Total Commander
T-Mobile Dash - Total Commander Registry
Note: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE may show up as HKLM on some devices, like the Dash.

Delete the key, and restart the messaging application. The “Windows Live E-mail” option should now be gone. Note that it will return once you try using MSN Messenger again (or any other Windows Live service built in), so I recommend using something like Shape Services IM+ for an IM client instead.
