In IE9, email is always at hand.
We are glad to present you an innovation for users of Mail @ Mail.Ru in Internet Explorer 9 - now you can drag and drop your Mail into the Windows 7 taskbar.
To do this, simply attach the Mail.Ru icon from the Internet Explorer 9 browser line to the taskbar.

As it turned out, “stick” the site on the taskbar is very simple. This technology is called Pinned Sites and is available in Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7. In the simplest version, it is enough to write several meta-tags in the html-code of the page that will set the initial settings for the window attached to the taskbar.
For example, we have done it this way:
As you can see, these tags define the name of the “application”, the URL of the start page, the colors of the browser buttons and the context menu items. With the help of javascript, you can expand the capabilities - for example, MailMail.Ru notifies the user about the presence of new letters by changing the icon on the taskbar.
If you want to apply it on your website, there is a detailed description in MSDN.
