I can able to load hotmail into outlook express from link as show below

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


The separate set of Hotmail-specific folders you're used to having in OE
(illustration:

are no longer available now that WebDAV support has ended.

All of the folders remain available at http://mail.live.com.

If there's a message in, e.g., your Junk Mail folder that you need or want
in OE, Move the message to your inbox on the webmail page. The next time OE
polls the account, the message will download into OE's Inbox folder.


If I use new Outlook Express setting to access hotmail, how can Outlook
Express synchronize with my hotmail account? when I manage my hotmail within
Outlook Express.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions


Unfortunately, asking the same question repeatedly doesn't change the
answer. POP3 is not a "folder-oriented" protocol, and can't synchronize
online folders. It only understands "Inbox", and only downloads the contents
of the account "Inbox". See my earlier post for one suggested method of
simulating folder synch. Alas, the only way to get the same action you are
familiar with, exactly, is to install Windows Live Mail, and use it, instead
of MSOE, to set up Hotmail as an HTTPMail account. If you do try that, don't
let WLMail import your Hotmail accounts; they are POP3, and you will want to
use the WLMail "HTTPMail" access for your Hotmail accounts.

If you have already tried WLMail, and removed it because you hate it, then
you are just plain out of luck. POP3 is the only way to access Hotmail with
MS Outlook Express, now.
