Automatic transfer of my hotmail acct to Outlook personal Inbox

G

Guest

I have Hotmail Plus which I think allows me to access my Hotmail acct from
Outlook. I just upgraded to Outlook 2003. Outlook 2002 used to
automatically save a copy of my Hotmail messages in my Personal Inbox when it
did a Send/Recieve. 2003 still does this with my pop3 accts such as gmail.
This way I can log on, DL my mail, and read it while offline. Is there a way
to set Outlook 2003 to do this so I can access my Hotmail acct messages when
not online, without having to drag and drop everything. Thanks in advance,
Jason

No, and Outlook 2002 didn't to this either. At least not natively.

Forget it. I figured it out. If you go to Tools > Send/Recieve> Hotmail
Only> Inbox, it will download everything in your inbox. Then, if you are
offline and go to check your Hotmail Inbox, Outlook will tell you that it
does not have a connection to the server, but it will still display all of
your messages. I think it even saves your in message attachments(not 100%
sure about that). Then as you recieve new e-mails it automatically saves
them once you open them.

But thanks for that informative answer Roady.

Found an even easier way to do this. Click on the folder name that you would
like to download the mail for. While the folder name is highlighted, Hold
down Shift, and press F9. Voila.
