i have two hotmail accounts refferred to as "hotmail" and "less used",
periodically outlook 2003 sp1 does not differentiate between them and shows
the same mail in each
 
Are these paid Hotmail accounts? Are you using the MSN Outlook Connector or
the HTTP account type to connect to Hotmail?

I suspect they are the type you refer to as outlook connector, I have had
them for years and hotmail advised me because of the years of use i could
continue to use them via outlook rather than having to pay a fee

Alright, that's nice of them :-)

If you are using the MSN Outlook Connector you should have Outlook Connector
listed in your menu bar between Actions and Help. Also you should be able to
view your on-line Hotmail Contacts and Calendar then. If not; you're using
the HTTP connection that comes with Outlook 2003. When you have more than 1
Hotmail accounts configured in Outlook it's best that you exclude all except
one of them from the automatic send/receive group. You can do this in
Tools-> Options-> tab Mail Setup-> button Send/Receive...-> button Edit...

With the MSN Outlook Connector there shouldn't be any issue connection to
more than one account at a time. If it does try recreating your mail profile
in Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles...
