Outlook2007 & Hotmail folders/messages

D

Dusty

Ran Outlook2007 connector for Hotmail and I can see messages/mail that's in
my Hotmail Inbox, but can't see mail/messages that are in folders created in
Hotmail.

BTW, Outlook2007 shows the same folders as Hotmail, just there's nothing in
them (other then Inbox, that is).

My question is: How do I sync/move/copy mail that's in a folder (that's not
Hotmail's Inbox) in Hotmail over to those same folders in Outlook2007 -
without loosing header information and such?

OLC is beta with lots of bugs, but I am not seeing this behavior on my
system. In Outlook 2007 I can see stuff in Drafts, Sent Mail and private
folders that I have created in Hotmail. Do you have the latest version of
OLC? I downloaded 12.0.6414.1000 just yesterday. In my experience copying
messages from Hotmail to Outlook does not result in loss of header
information.

I have the same version of OLC, but am not getting messages that are in
other folders that were made in Hotmail. And when I send them to myself,
they loose header information, time/date stamps, etc..

You're forwarding them to yourself? Outlook typically strips the internet
header, especially if you are forwarding to an exchange acct. you need to
copy the internet header and paste it into the message if you absolutely
need to have it.

That's not a viable solution. It'd take far too long to do all that cuting
and pasting. Is there another way?

Ran Outlook2007 connector for Hotmail and I can see messages/mail that's
in my Hotmail Inbox, but can't see mail/messages that are in folders
created in Hotmail.

BTW, Outlook2007 shows the same folders as Hotmail, just there's nothing
in them (other then Inbox, that is).

That happened to me as well. I had to remove the account and readd it.
Outlook then showed everything.
My question is: How do I sync/move/copy mail that's in a folder (that's
not Hotmail's Inbox) in Hotmail over to those same folders in
Outlook2007 - without loosing header information and such?

If you mean from a Hotmail folder to a non-Hotmail folder, then
drag-and-drop should work.
