Outlook 2002 keeps marking all emails from Hotmail account as unread

[Alan Silver]

Hello,

I'm using Outlook 2002, and have been trying to get it to act as an
e-mail client for my Hotmail account.

I downloaded the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector, and that installed
OK. I entered my Hotmail details, clicked Send/Receive, and it
downloaded all of the e-mails in my Hotmail inbox. So far, so good.

The problem is that every time I click Send/Receive, it downloads *all*
of these emails again, and marks them all as unread. This makes it
difficult to see what is actually new mail, as everything is marked
unread.

Am I doing something wrong? When I click Send/Receive, I just want it to
download new emails, and mark just those as unread. This is what I would
expect it to do.

Thanks for any help.
