Account Set-up Creates new Inbox

[Guest]

Very basic question here. I set-up my e-mail account in Outlook (I have an
http account with MSN), and Outlook creates a second inbox. The inbox that
is there when the program was installed is not being used. I would prefer to
have only one inbox. How do I set-up the account so mail is delivered to
this inbox, and a second one is not created? I only have one e-mail account.


Thank you for your help!

The mailbox that is created by default is a POP3 mailbox - Hotmail cannot
deliver to the POP3 mailbox as it is HTTP type. You can drag and drop your
Hotmail to the POP3 mailbox to preserve your mail on your hard drive.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
