I don't understand why we can transfer my in box from the Hotmail server to
Outlook Express, but can't transfer from Outlook Express to Hotmail. Can you
explain why?

...I wanted to use
Outlook Express for my Hotmail account. When I set it up, it transfered
all
of my in box to Outlook Express. They are no longer in Windows Live.

That's because you failed to enable...

OE Tools | Accounts | Mail | [hotmail] | Properties | Advanced | Delivery |
Leave messages on the server =this option

...My
problem is, I can't receive messages in Outlook Express.

See this recent discussion:

...I've given up, and
would like to transfer my messages frrom Outlook Express back to Windows
Live. Is that possible?

No. You can Forward the messages to yourself but they'll lose the
timestamp, TO and FROM attributes.
