I have several hotmail accounts that I read in OE.

Some accounts show in OE all the folders that I have in hotmail.com.

Some accounts do NOT show in OE all the folders that I have in hotmail.com.

How do I get ALL the hotmail.com folders to display (along with the contents
thereof) in OE?

Do not tell me to cancel these accounts and reopen them - I already did that
and THOSE are the accounts that fail to show all the hotmail.com folders in
OE - they DID show all the accounts prior to closing/reopening them!!

In general, I have found that having more than one Hotmail account in
any given MS Outlook Express Identity leads to problems. Often, messages
which should only be in the account folders for one of the accounts get
reduplicated in many, or all of the other account folders. The only work
around that I found to be effective is to limit myself to one MSN
Hotmail account per MS Outlook Express Identity.

Beyond that, your MSOE Hotmail folders only mirror what is available on
the Hotmail servers. You may need to tweak your Synchronization
settings, but I never had a problem with that. Any messages which you
want stored locally only, but not on the MSN servers, must be stored in
a folder under the Local Folders tree. Any time that you open MSOE
without logging in to the Hotmail servers you will only see what was on
the servers at the end of the last session.

This problem applies to both the OS generated folders and MY generated
folder.

This doesn't make any sense to me. I have never seen my OS (Windows ME)
generate any MSOE folders; unless I requested it. Perhaps you meant to
distinguish between the _Application_ generated folders and those you
created? With Hotmail accounts, there are three sources of folder
creation:

1.) MS Outlook Express creates five local folders:
a.) Inbox
b.) Outbox
c.) Sent Items
d.) Deleted Items
e.) Drafts

2.) MSN Hotmail creates four folders; at least as shown in my account:
a.) Inbox
b.) Sent Items
c.) Deleted Items
d.) Bulk Mail

3.) Any other folders than those are user-created folders.
