Hotmail Plus in Outlook

G

Guest

I have been using a Hotmail Plus email account in Outlook for about a year.
Every now and then, email messages have gone into the wrong folder, but now I
have a problem I'm not sure how to resolve. I just got a Palm 700p
SmartPhone PDA, which has wireless synchrononization, so that I can have my
email "pushed" to my PDA. I figured out that I had to use the PC monitor
setting, so that it doesn't get my email directly from the server, but from
my computer (which is what I preferred anyway), since in order to the former,
it has to be a POP3 server or IMAP (rather than HTTP, which is what Hotmail
Plus is). But here's my problem: When my PDA syncs wirelessly with Outlook,
it sends me email from the default inbox, rather than my MSN inbox. How do I
configure Outlook in such a way that eliminates or bypasses my regular inbox,
so that my MSN inbox is what is presented to the wireless sync? (I hope I've
made sense so that you experts out there can understand me).
Thanks for your help.

Your Palm sync software cannot sync with HTTP accounts nor can you configure
Outlook to use the standard folder structure to use with an HTTP account.
This is due to the sync nature of HTTP accounts and lack of calendar,
contacts, notes, tasks, etc... support of these account types.

There are several ways to go;
-Upgrade to a subscription that allows the use of the Outlook Connector
which are;
-Windows Live Mail Plus (Netherlands only for now)
-MSN Premium
-Microsoft Office Live
-Use a third party tool to have the HTTP account type act as a POP3 account
like Hotmail Popper
