Outlook and Windows Live mail account

[Mike]

I use Vista Ultimate and Outlook 2007. I have email thru yahoo, gmail and
windows live which is my main. When I sync thru mobile device center on my
HTC Touch pro I can only sync my outlook inbox and the selected folders.
Windows Live account is in a seperate portion that I can't move into and sync
with my phone. Therefore I have on my phone an outlook mail folder that's
empty and my live/hotmail on my phone that has all my email. How do I get
this all into the outlook folder on my phone? Please help

Make the Hotmail folders the delivery location. Tools>Account Settings>Data
Files tab. Select Hotmail folders and click Set as Default. Stop and restart
Outlook.

That worked - Thank you, one more question though. Why can't I send and
receive thru outlook from my mobile device? Am I missing a setting somewhere?

While I sync with a mobile device, I never send or receive email through it.
I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Now my contacts are messed up, for some reason I have 4 different sets, all
I need is the main one from outlook, but of course sync them with my mobile -

Most sync software will sync only the default folders. I don't know what your
sync software will use.
