Brian, thanks for your help. Though I guess I'll have to settle for the
compromise in using POP3 accounts. But i must appreciate your help in moving
Hotmail data file in Outlook.

That page doesn't mention anything about Sent Items.

Is there any way by which the following issues can be taken care of
when using POP3 account in outlook 2003:

1) Syncronising sent items folder of POP3 account & Outlook by using
some plug-in, tool or utility?

As I said already, it's impossible.

2) If I send a mail directly from the web interface of POP3 account,

The web interface doesn't use POP protocols. POP and web are completely
unrelated.

the sent mail gets downloaded in my inbox of the outlook. For eg. if
I send a mail directly from Gmail by opening it on the internet &
send a mail. When i do send/receive on outlook, then this sent mail
gets downloaded into my inbox of the outlook. How do I avoid this
problem?

Apparently gmail works differently from any other POP server and includes
your Sent Mail folder messages in the download. POP servers aren't supposed
to work that way. Nonetheless, it's a one-way path. Gmail may feed your
sent mail when you download, but you can't so the other way.

Also, could you pl. help me with using Hotmail in Outlook 2003. I have
successfully configured Hotmail with Outlook 2003 & I can send &
receive mails. If I want to change the location of the folder where
my hotmail mails are stored locally on the pc by Outlook, how do i do
that. For eg. Hotmail mails are locally stored by default in the
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Personal Folders(1).pst.
