Outlook 2003 / hotmail account
Brian, yes I realize that. When I said 'new' I didn't really mean a new
hotmail account. I meant that it was a new account(folder) on my outlook, but the same old hotmail account that I have had since hotmail came online years ago. What I am trying to do is take all the emails I have in my POP3 hotmail email folder and put all these emails into the newer MAPI hotmail folder that the outlook connecter created. Is this even possible? I also noticed today, for the first time, that I cannot view some of my emails from the pop3 email folder - I had thought I copied every email onto my laptop but I guess not. Does this mean I have lost them or is there a way to recover them from microsoft? "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Jay S. Taylor" Jay S. wrote in message ... I've been using outlook 2003 for year now with my hotmail account, but as you all know as of Sept. 1 we've had to install the connector in order to use our email accounts w/ outlook. My problem is that I've got all my folders and emails under my 'old' hotmail account, but when I installed the outlook connector software it created a new email account. Um, no it didn't. You are the one who entered the hotmail address and password when you created the account. Outlook will connect to the Hotmail account the credentials for which you supplied.

Outlook 2003 / hotmail account
Kevin, Thanks for the reply & I have been using windows live for months, but
it doesn't have my 6 years worth of work related email likes my outlook does. "Kevin" wrote: Forget about everything you have tried or installed.

I've been trying to merge these two together without success as I've got emails from 5-6 years ago that I need to keep and that I refer to fairly often and it has been annoying to have to keep jumping between the 'two' accounts. My other associated problem is that not all of my hotmail live mail is showing up with the 'new' account in outlook. They are there when I look in explorer, but not through outlook. Hopefully this is a better descreiption of my challenges. Thanks for your help all!

The account used to go to the "inbox" in the personal folders on the left. Now it shows up as a completley separate account below "Personal Folders". So you have Personal foldersinbox, Sent, Deleted, & whatever other folders you've set up (pst file). The newly connected account also then shows up under that with (or ) inbox, sent, deleted, etc. I am experiencing the same thing & it sucks. The new mail notifications don't work, rules arent working. etc. I have an msn.com account through qwest.

Outlook 2003 / hotmail account
I'm going to restate my problem (hopefully more clearly).
As we all know MS has stopped using the old protocols for hotmail (HTTP I think) and is now using the MAPI protocol. For years now I have been using my Outlook for all my emailing (my Telus emails, hotmail, gmail, and shaw). Sept 3 I installed the outlok connecter and I assumed that it was just going to let me continue to use my hotmail account like I had been doing. That was not the case. For 3 days I waited to see if the problem would work itself out and I could get my hotmail emails through Outlook - but it didn't. I looked at the help files and it seems that either the outlook connecter didn't work properly or I missed a pop up during the initialization (or installation phase) so I used the outlook connector to manually add my hotmail account (the same one that was already in my outook folders). Doing this created a new folder with the same hotmail account, but with only some of the folders (only the ones I created through Live mail). I have other sub-folders in my hotmail account (the Http one), that I never created in Live mail. I would like to take all thopse folders and old emails from the http hotmail account/folder and put them in with the MAPI hotmail account/folder, but every time I try to do a copy & paste I get a server error message. As well I can only view some of my old emails in the http hotmail account/folder using outlook. Before Sept 1 I could see them using outlook. I did havemy settings set to delete the email off the msn server once I downloaded them, but I don't understand why I can't see some of them now. Hopefully this has clarified my trouble & I do thank you all for your aid. Jason "Jay S.

Outlook 2003 / hotmail account
N. Miller, & Brian Tillmam:
Thanks for education and clarifications. I used to consider myself slightly ahead of the cumputer using crowd (I was programming in apple assembler back when I was in high school), but now that I have my own business I find it hard to keep abreast of all the changes occurring in the WWW. I also appreciate everybody's patience with me. From trial and error I have found (or think I have found) that Mr. Miller is correct. Any emails that I did not specifically save on my laptop & that used the old email protocols cannot be viewed, moved, or copied - and I always get the 'forbidden server' message (sounds like a bad martial arts film). I am now resigning myself to the fact that I have lost all the email that were not dowloaded (is that the correct term?) from the email server using the old protocols. SIGH. As an aside though - I thought I had set outlook 2003 to dowload ALL my emails from all my different accounts, but this is obviously not the case. My gmail & Telus accounts are fine, but it was only some of my hotmail emails that didn't didn't download. Is it possible to make sure that outlook connecter is set to download my hotmail emails into outlook 2003 or do I need to upgrade to a new version of office? "N.

Outlook 2003 / hotmail account
May I assume, from your original statement, that his is MS Outlook 2003?
Yes. Windows Live Hotmail (I smetimes use thru my web-based browswer) is what I was referring to. I didn't know that Live Mail was something different. There is no MAPI connected with Hotmail. MAPI is a protocol for connecting other applications to a mail client, not for accessing a mail server from a mail client. Thanks again for the carification. I only was going by what I could see on screen. As Brian has already said when I look at my outlook connecter settings it was showing up a an MAPI account, which I incorrectly referred to as the protocol. You are also correct in that any emails I didn't manually download to my laptop cannot be accessed in any way chape or form that I know of. I guess that'll teach me to ignore those annoying warning emails from Microsoft in the future. It is kinda sad though as I had thought I set outlook to download ALL my emails. "N.
