Thanks for the info on using the pop3 service. I have been using the WebDAV section of the webmail hotmail extension to receive my mail. The new Hotmail section is currently giving me problems on receiving my mail from my local WX man it only downloads parts of the email. Tried the pop3 last night and it works fine. I also tried the secured STMP Secure Password Authorization and it worked fine here.
I be waiting for next webmail hotmail ext update maybe the problem will fix by September. I do have some custom folders that I am using such as online saved messages as I do have a system crash every so often; primary from upgrading hard drives although I may not adding anymore for since I now a 80 gigs.
