Outlook Live

[Guest]

A few questions:

1. Now that my Hotmail account is permanently automatically syncd with my
Outlook, will my sent emails in Hotmail still be automatically deleted after
30 days? Because if so won't this also delete sent emails stored in Outlook?
It would be ridiculous to offer 2GB of storage and yet to delete sent emails
after 30 days, without giving u the choice!

2. WHY why why does Hotmail not have an autosave option for sent emails??
This is unbelieveable, having to check the box manually on every email!

3. Now that I have my Hotmail account as my primary folder I am experiencing
a very annoying problem. An email arrives into my Inbox. I read it. I then
drag it into another folder for filing. But once in the other folder it
continues to show up as unread (ie in bold) which means I have to click on it
again. Clearly, this is being caused by my using the MSN/Hotmail server,
which is great for syncing with my online data but seems not to work so well
when I am purely offline. I never had this problem with my previous version
of Outlook (2003).

Please advise. Thanks

1) Not sure - I didn't think so with paid accounts. I have sent items going
back to 11/21/2004 in my mool account. But you are right - if it's deleted
online it will be deleted in outlook.

2) no idea.

3) I never noticed, but then I rarely mark items read as I read them. later
I right click on the folder and mark all read.
