Grammar
'that' in 'every time that you close Windows Mail'
Hi,
Wondering if 'that' in the sentence below is necessary?
Additionally, every time that you close Windows Mail, you are prompted that there are unsent messages in your Outbox.
Also, should 'when' be added to make it grammatical? as in 'when you close Windows Mail every time'.

That there is not critical for understanding, so it is not necessary. 'Every time when ' is not very good style, at least, and some will complain about its grammar. 'When you + verb every time' also contains redundancy-- 'When you + verb' is enough.
