I have two seperate "identities", one is for a hotmail account, the other is
from my private domain. In the hotmail identity, I have a folder that I
created to store emails from a company I do business with. I want to move
everything away from my hotmail identity to the email identity from my
personal domain. I can forward all of them, but I want to know if I can save
myself the time and trouble by transferring it all from one identity to the
other. Is there an easy way to do it?

Please define "account". (To us here, "account" denotes a mail account;
an "identity" is how/where OE stores your messages; one or more identities
can be running in a Windows User Profile.)

And are you referring to a Hotmail inbox in an (new) OE identity (running
in a separate/new User Profile)?

Understand that what you see in your Hotmail-specific OE folders simply
mirrors what's on the MSN/Hotmail server, unlike POP3 mail. If you
configure your Hotmail account in another OE identity (or even in OL),
what you see in the current identity's Hotmail-specific folders will
download into the new identity's folders as soon as it syncs with the
server.

It sounds like you want to have a Hotmail inbox running in another
identity containing only messages from this company. You can't do that.

You /can/ drag any OE message from one OE folder to another, or even to a
Windows (non-OE) folder.

OT: Your headers tell me that you're running outdated and much less secure
versions of OE, IE and WinXP SP2. Check in at Windows Update ASAP to
install all critical updates.

Ok, how do I copy the contents of the folder in my hotmail account, to
the
inbox of the new account I created?

You cannot move the Hotmail account's folder, no.

You can copy or move the folder's contents to a local OE folder.

You can drag copies of messages (EML) in any OE folder to another
Windows
folder.

the
new account rather than forwarding each individual email. Both accounts
