Entourage 10.2.0: Unable to sync Hotmail between two Macs

[jwbryan]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

Hi!

With Hotmail's change from DAV to POP3 only, I am now unable to keep the computers I use sychronized. When I delete mail from one computer or from the Web GUI, I still have the messages on the other computer(s). The result is that I have to touch messages multiple times to remove them. The client does not matter (Entourage or Outlook), since POP doesn't really support reconciling like IMAP (which Hotmail does not have). Is anyone else having this problem? Have you found a workaround? Microsoft, what are you doing to address?

Get a Gmail IMAP account and/or forward your Hotmail account to Gmail if you
need to keep the address.

An option in POP accounts is to "leave mail on the server". Look under the
Options tab in your account window. (under Tools in the Menu bar)

Microsoft, what are you doing to address?
