Thank you for your reply.

I have had hotmail and accessed it continueously and almost exclusively
through OE
for the last 7 years and I have never had this problem before.

You're welcome. It is actually two different issues. I had three MSN
Hotmail accounts accessed from one MSOE Identity, and frequently saw the
folders getting intermingled, locally. I finally tried separating them,
one Hotmail account per MSOE Identity. That was the cure.

The other, where deleted messages locally deletes them from the server,
is not a but, but a feature. Same for both HTTPMail (WebDAV) accounts,
and IMAP accounts. If you want to keep a message locally, but delete it
from the server, you _must_ move the message to a local folder before
you delete it. Meaning exactly that; under the Local Folders tree.
