-Hotmail disappears from OE

I just added my hotmail account to the OE Folders. After "retrieving" my
messages from hotmail I deleted them at the site. When I went to re-read
the messages I retrieved using OE I find they are no longer there. I am
assuming the "syncronize" option did this. Now I have sync unchecked. IS
that what deleted all of the hotmail inbox messages from OE?

Thanks, but it didn't address my disappearing messages.

Apparently, I can view the hotmail messages only as long as they stay
resident at the hotmail site?

I am wondering now what happens if I open them in OE and then use "copy to/
move to" to my local Inbox

Duh, I see the prob. Hotmail is NOT shown as a local folder. The OE
display is only reflecting what resides at Hotmail, it never actually
downloads them to local folders. So, I do have to move them to local
folders if I don't want to lose them when deleting from the Hotmail site.
That is logical.

Yes. WYS in OE "mirrors" WYS in Hotmail online. Delete a message in one,
the message will be deleted in the other.

Moving or Copying a message to a Local folder is the only way to archive the
message off the Hotmail server.
