Hotmail & Outlook

[Pia]

Ages ago i used to have Outlook set up with my hotmail, this didn't affect the Hotmail side of things at all.
But i've set it up again (diff computer) and now when i receive messages into Outlook they're going into my Deleted Items folder in Hotmail.

Why is this? It never used to do this? I wanted my hotmail to stay as it was but now my inbox is empty!!

Are you using the 'Outlook Connector' to pick up your hotmail?

I don't know? I used Outlooks account settings and used the pop3 etc settings to connect to hotmail?

My outlook stopped working and I had to use windows live mail. It looks the exact same and works well.

I know, i like Live Mail and have used it for a long time but i thought i could use both alongside each other like i have done in the past but it would appear not.

If i could get it all back to normal i would get rid of Outlook now

If you want to collect hotmail into Outlook you should be using the Outlook Connector.

If you'd prefer to use Live Mail then that will work too. You certainly don't need both unless you need other Outlook functions such as Calender or Tasks.

Hiya, thanks for the link... It doesn't say anything about being able to load up my Hotmail/Live mail aswell as have it come into OUtlook.

When i receive messages into Outlook, they go into my Deleted items folder at hotmail, but to the inbox on Outlook. Does that make sense?

I want them to stay in the inbox in hotmail.

Live mail and hotmail are the same thing aren't they? It's Live mail i'm using then.

Oh i see (i was impatient)

Ok now to find a way to get all my messages back in the right place without losing them. I'm such a hoarder

Thanks

I suspect you have Outlook set up to delete e mail messages off the server.

In Outlook, go to "Tools" "E Mail Accounts" then "View or change existing e mail accounts"

Select your Hotmail account and click the "Change" button. Now click on "More settings" select the "Advanced" Tab and under the delivery heading, tick the "Leave a copy of messages on the server" box and tick the "Remove from server when deleted from deleted items" box.

Your Outlook and Hotmail accounts should now stay in sync.
