Hotmail account setup
 

When I click on the 'root' of my Hotmail account, it shows "The page cannot
be displayed". How do I rectify this?

When I then click on Send/Receive but only my Inbox is updated. How do I
ensure the Bulk Mail is updated as well.

Thank you.

The root folder has no page associated with it.

Use Ctrl + Alt + S to access your send receive group settings. Select your
Hotmail account and choose the folders you want to update in Folder Options.

Thanks, please can you advise where I associate a page with the root folder?

Under Home Page, the address is greyed out, so unable to amend it.

You don't. The root of a Hotmail account doesn't ever show anything because
it always contains nothing. Why do you expect to see something there?

Press Alt-Ctrl-S while viewing your Inbox. Select your Send/Receive group
(probably "All Accounts" and click Edit. Select the Hotmail account and put
a check by the folder named "Junk E-mail". Click OK.

Yeah, non changeable. You are stuck with none.

It displays The Page Cannot be found and I thought I could change it to
display the Hotmail URL.

I also thought it may fix the problem where I click in the Inbox or Bulk
Mail and the screen \'refreshes\' for about 3 seconds then \'moves\' and seems
to reset itself to the left hand pane. I wanted to find the cause of this
problem and thought it maybe related. Have you heard of this issue?

No, never. Can you post some before/after screen shots?
