Please can you confirm if my understanding is correct?
Once i've setup POP for my hotmail account, my bulk folder will not be downloaded, only the Inbox? Thank you. |

POP3 is an older protocol, which does not synchronize local folders with server folders. Rather, it downloads messages from the server Inbox. And MSOE does not default to the "Leave messages on the server"; you have to consciously select that option, or the email messages will be deleted from the server. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

Is the Junk Mail folder a local folder? I dont quite understand. I access
my Junk Mail folder alot from OE but now that I've configure Hotmail for POP3, I cannot see my Junk Mail folder anymore. Do I now have to goto the webpage and look at Junk Mail folder there to see if there's mail I've missed? "N. Miller" wrote in message ...

Correct. The Hotmail-specific folders in OE that you're used to
(illustration: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...403shu01_C.gif) will not be available when accessing the account via POP3 and/or after 01 September (if your WebDAV-based account is still running in OE). -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 www.banthecheck.com abc wrote: Please can you confirm if my understanding is correct?

Is the Junk Mail folder a local folder? I dont quite understand. The POP3 protocol does not "understand" the concept of folders. It only understands, "mailbox", as a simple repository of unread email on the server. Furthermore, MS Outlook Express, when accessing a POP3 server, also doesn't "understand" the concept of folders. It only know the generic, global "Inbox" under the "Local Folders" tree. All email downloaded from all POP3 accounts (you can have more than one) are dumped in this same, common folder. I access my Junk Mail folder alot from OE but now that I've configure Hotmail for POP3, I cannot see my Junk Mail folder anymore. If you migrated properly, you shouldn't even see the "Hotmail" folder tree in your 'Folders' pane. MSOE does not know about anything like a "Junk" folder; unless you have a third party add-on which created it. Do I now have to goto the webpage and look at Junk Mail folder there to see if there's mail I've missed? Unless you want to download Windows Live Mail, then, yes, you will need to check the web view to check the Junk folder. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

I really need to see my Junk Mail folder just in case there's an email I
need. What would you suggest? Thank you "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ... Correct.

Download Windows Live Mail and use http access.
Or check the Bulk folder online and move messages to the online Inbox. -- Ron Sommer MVP-Mail "abc" wrote in message ... I really need to see my Junk Mail folder just in case there's an email I need.

From time to time, you'll need to log-on to your account at
http://mail.live.com to check the Junk Mail folder. If it contains a message you want/need in OE, move it from the Junk Mail folder to the Inbox folder on the webmail page. OE will then download the message the next time it polls the server. You're welcome. abc wrote: I really need to see my Junk Mail folder just in case there's an email I need. What would you suggest?
