working with folders offline

[Joan Mary]

Hi,
I am using Outlook 2007 and would like to move emails to other folders and
to delete them while working offline.

When I try a message comes up to say it is not possible offline. Is this
right or is it just that I have not discovered the correct method?

Are you using an Exchange Server mailbox or an IMAP mailbox?

What type of email account do you have?

Not 100% sure but I don't think you can move items around while offline and
you can mark items for deletion while offline and purge them when back
online.

Yes, thank you, I will do that.

I have an Hotmail Live account.

I thought you said it was IMAP? IMAP and Hotmail Live are completely
different.

Oh dear, I obviously don't know what the difference is. My emails come
through Hotmail Live but the account shows on the send/receive settings in
Outlook as MAPI ( I think, I can't get in to look at it at the moment) and I
thought that must be the same as IMAP.

MAPI and IMAP are different, yes. Different connection protocols between
client and server.
