Couldnt you just mark all of the mail in the hotmail/msn inbox as unread and then when outlook goes to check for new mail it will think all of them are new??
just a thought

ok, now they are all marked as unread. Now how do I forward them all to my OUTLOOK inbox from MSN's Hotmail Inbox?

Setup an account in Outlook using a POP3, not an http account.

Incoming: pop3hot.com
Outgoing: your ISP's SMTP setting here.

Placing your Addressbook, Outlook Store & Favorites on a separate partition is a good safety net. using the registry you can redirect where they are to be found by the system and programs that require them.

im not sure...i havnt really used outlook.

try opening outlook and then look for a button like "check for new mail" or "synchronize" something like that..which will check your hotmail account for any new email.

*************************
I. How to Get Started with Hotmail Offline

>>> To get started with Hotmail Offline

1. In Outlook Express, on the "Tools" menu, click "Accounts".
2. In the "Internet Accounts" dialog box, click the "Add" button.
3. Click "Mail" to open the Internet Connection Wizard, and then follow the instructions to configure your existing Hotmail account. You need only your Hotmail sign-in name and password.


*************************
II. How to Synchronize your Hotmail Account with Outlook Express

With Hotmail Offline, you can synchronize Hotmail and Outlook Express to keep the messages on your hard disk drive and your online account coordinated and up to date. If you change your Hotmail account through Outlook Express (move messages, create or delete folders, or compose a new message), these changes appear in both programs. With synchronization, Outlook Express downloads new messages from your Hotmail account to Outlook Express.


*************************
III. How to Send a Message in Outlook Express

>>> To send a message in Outlook Express

1. In the Outlook Express folders list, click your Hotmail Inbox.
2. On the toolbar, click the "New Mail" button.
3. In the "To" or "Cc" boxes, type the e-mail name of each recipient, separating names with a comma or semicolon.
4. In the "Subject" box, type a message title.
5. Compose your message in the text box, and then click the "Send" button.
Note: The message is not sent until you synchronize.


*************************
IV. How to use Outlook Express to Save Messages on Your Computer's Hard Disk Drive

You can use Outlook Express to store Hotmail messages on your computer and never worry about exceeding the Hotmail size limit.

>>> To archive messages from your Hotmail account to your hard disk drive

1. In Outlook Express, under the "Local Folders" list, click "Local Folders".
2. Click "File", point to "New", and then click "Folder".
3. In the text box under "Folder", type a name for the new folder. Your new folder appears in the list under "Local Folders".
4. Drag messages from your Hotmail Inbox in Outlook Express to the new folder.
When you follow this procedure, you are removing e-mail messages from your Hotmail server and moving the messages to your hard disk drive, reducing the size of your Hotmail account. You can now view the messages in the new Outlook Express folder any time you launch Outlook Express--you need not be signed in to Hotmail to see the messages.


*************************
V. How to Remove your Hotmail Account from Outlook Express

You can remove your Hotmail account from Outlook Express in two ways:
- Right-click the account and click "Remove Account".
-or-
- On the "Tools" menu, click "Accounts", select the Hotmail account, and click the "Remove" button.

Your Hotmail account is not deleted permanently. You have only removed the ability to read Hotmail messages offline from Outlook Express. To reconfigure Outlook Express to read your Hotmail messages, on the "Tools" menu, click "Account" and then click "Add Mail".
