I am a new outlook user and I am having some trouble getting all my ducks in
a row*. I have set-up my Hotmail accout on outlook and I am able to access my
hotmail email in outlook, but I can't use the 'organize' feature** in the
Hotmail inbox. It is in the drop-down menu, but it's grey (or not availabe).
Do I have to transfer the email to the personal folder? or is there something
I am missing?
Any help on detailed info on setting things up for a lame-o newbie that
can't figure it out on her own would be greatly appreciated.

*I am trying to color code messages in my inbox.

This is a true statement.

Since Organize works only on the PST as messages come in, I suspect what you
would like is not possible. However, see if anything here helps:

Rules do not work on HTTP mail such as Hotmail.

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.
