I can able to load hotmail into outlook express from link as show below
http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions...k-express.aspx

but all hotmail emails go into inbox, which mix with my local email account,
I would like to set for the previous set, so I can see my hotmail account
including 4 types of folders: Inbox, Outbox, Delete, Junk.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it within Outlook Express 6?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Use rules. First, under "Local Folders", create a subfolder with the same
name as your Hotmail account (Tools|Options|General; the first box, just
above "User Information"). Second, under that subfolder, create a
sub-subfolder, and call it, "Inbox". Third, set up your rule:

| Apply this rule after the message arrives
| Where the message is from the {Account_Name_here) account
| Move it to the Inbox folder
| and Stop processing more rules

Repeat as necessary for each Hotmail POP3 account. Make sure these rules are
at the top of the Rules list.

Thank you very much for suggestions
could you please give me any suggestions on how to redirect all junk mail
from hotmail account into specific local junk mail folder? or is there any
option to load hotmail into outlook express? and all related mails will go
into the right folder.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

The POP3 protocol is not a "folder-oriented" protocol. It only undersands,
"Inbox", so that is the only Hotmail folder it sees. No other Hotmail
folders can be accessed using POP3.

MS Outlook Express does not include a native spam filter, so all email in
the Hotmail Inbox is downloaded unfiltered. If you set the Hotmail "Junk"
filter to the lowest setting, you will get most, but not all, spam
unfiltered to your Inbox, and it will download through the POP3 setting. I
don't know of a way to get the filtered email, short of moving it to the
Inbox while you use a browser to access the web mail view of your Hotmail
account.

You can try additional MSOE filters to catch the spam, if you are clever
enough to find the right filtering keys. Add additional filtering rules
after your Hotmail Inbox rule; all additional filtering will have to be done
after your email has been downloaded, so the Hotmail filter needs to be
first.
