I was running OE 6.0 to access my hotmail account. To minimize the

where a folder hierarchy can be created and messages stored in these
folders.

Do these folders not reflect the contents of Hotmail? If not, can you not
copy the contents of these folders to the regular Outlook Express folders
and then import from Outlook?
