The only way to do that, as far as I know, is to use Outlook Live and the

I'm afraid you've lost me. I don't know what an OST is. For that
matter, I need to get a better basic understanding of e-mail account
types, because Microsoft keeps expanding the jargon. What is the
difference between an Exchange account and a web-based? (I know the
basic differences between POP3 and web-based, or HTTP).

Second, your potential solutions seem slanted toward having
connectivity. I don't need it. I will only use Outlook. On the
extremely rare circumstance that I need to access my mail via
Hotmail.com, I won't care much about flagging, etc. not transferring
back to Outlook.

Are you saying that Outlook 2003 wasn't built to set up one HTTP type
account, and use it as primary? Why do they state: "In an Outlook
profile
where there is no Exchange e-mail account, the Hotmail e-mail account
or the MSN e-mail account is the primary account." ?
