Default Outlook Express to Hotmail Live

I've tried to get help on Windows Live, but no help there. 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. My
problem is, I can't receive messages in Outlook Express. I've given up, and
would like to transfer my messages frrom Outlook Express back to Windows
Live. Is that possible?

That's because you failed to enable...

Leave messages on the server =this option

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

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?

Because you're accessing the account via POP3, not IMAP, and that's how it
works, John.
