Re: How to move Hotmail folders to Outlook 2007?

[Roady [MVP]]

Have you the latest Outlook Connector installed already?
All mail should be available to you in Outlook already then. You can then
just drag & drop to move your emails to someplace else.

If somehow not all the folders show up in Outlook, remove the Live Hotmail
account from Outlook, restart Outlook and then add the account again.

Thanks Roady, but it is not an issue with the folders not showing in Outlook
2007, but rather that they don't contain the emails that are in the hotmail
folders. I have the most current Outlook Connector version, but cannot drag
and drop folders, nor can I copy or export them.

The same solution applies ;-)

You'd have to move the individual items instead. Use CTRL+A to select all
items in a fold at once.

"senRoady - I hope my question is related (if not, I'd be happy to start a
new thread). I have Outlook 2007 on Vista Home and a Hotmail account. Over
the years (with Outlook 2003 prior to 2007) I have sent email either from
Outlook or from the Hotmail webmail facility. Mail sent from Outlook is
filed both in "sent items" in my personal folders and also on the Hotmail
server; mail sent from the webmail interface is just stored on the server.
I want to synchronise the "sent items" folders to finish up with a single
definitive list in my Personal Folders, then I'll empty "sent items" folder
on the server. I've got over 1,000 sent items on the server, roughly half of
which I wrote and sent from Outlook (and which are therefore already filed in
my Personal Folders). Ideally, I want to do a single 'select' of all sent
items on the server and then do a copy or move to Personal Folders, BUT
WITHOUT DUPLICATING ITEMS. Is this possible?
