Default Help: Now deleted - OE thru Hotmail Migrated folders between accounts

I have several hotmail accounts accessable from OE 6. I went into one
account (say B( moments ago and I seen that all my folders from another
account (A) were migrated into this hotmail account. I them went a head
and opened up Hotmail through IE and looked at what was there. Online
everything was ok so I then deleted the folders from B. I then went
into A and I tried to do some housecleaning I got an error message. I
then restared OE and I seen that the folders were deleted from BOTH A
and B accounts.

What the heck happened? How can I get back my email ?

Thanks


You can't get it back. With Hotmail, what you see in MSOE is a mirror of
what exists on the Hotmail servers. If you delete anything in MSOE, it
will be deleted from the Hotmail servers.

When you have multiple Hotmail accounts, and you try to access them from
the same Identiy in MSOE, you sometimes get the folders appearing to be
mixed between the accounts. This is, apparently, a bug in MSOE. The only
way I ever found to deal with the issue is to use multiple MSOE
Identities, with one, and _only_ one, MSN Hotmail account configured in
each Identity. Six Hotmail accounts? Create six Identities.
