How do I colour code emails from hotmail?

[Joan Mary]

I have followed the line to add flags to my emails but the Quick Flag field
is hidden.

It works for my other Inbox but not for the hotmail Inbox.

Can someone help please?

Rules don't apply to Hotmail account. You can customize your view as per;

Also make sure you connect to Hotmail via the Outlook Connector.

Thank you very much for your message; I have managed to get it all working.
Why could I not find any information on the Outlook Connector?

Not sure. How did you search for it?
You can download it here though;

I am having trouble getting any rules to apply to incoming messages with my
outlook connector. I am using a microsoft live account and use connector to
get my info into outlook.
