Mark as "worked around/not really resolved". Right after posting I went to the hotmail/live.com web server & moved all my mail in the subfolder to the main folder, then deleted the subfolder. The replier below (thanks!) said that's what I would need to do, anyway. And yes, while I assume I still can't get msgs. from any hotmail subfolders, those msgs. once they were in the main hotmail folder downloaded w/o any prob. & today keeping those same settings (not creating a new subfolder on the web server) continues to allow download of all msgs. (off topic: and the filters I have within shredder do route to shredder's own subfolders I made here.)
