Default Why must I click on my inbox shortcut to see new incoming mail?

First, the email account I have chosen for default doesnt' come up when I
open Outlook. I must click on its inbox shortuct.

Second, my incoming notification doesn't work (envelope in tray, sound,
nothing). New incoming mail doesn't show up in my inbox unless I click again
(similar to refresh) on the inbox shortcut?????

That's how HTTP accounts work, usually. The only way it can be different
with Hotmail is for you to purchase Hotmail Premium and use Outlook Live.
