Outlook w/connector does not delete emails in Hotmail

[Don S.]

Hi

I have installed Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector, replacing my Outlook
Express.

One item I have notices is that the emails I delete from Outlook are NOT
deleted from HotMail. Same applies to Junk email deleted in Outlook - they
are still in HotMail.

I was under the impression that this was a feature of Outlook Connector, and
it would remove emails from HotMail.

Thanks

Don S.

Hotmail and Outlook should sync during the next Send/Receive operation.
That's how it works for me. Messages I delete in Outlook don't disappear from
the server immediately, they disappear when the next send/receive runs.

Brian, I under stand what Don is talking about. I have been using Outlook
Connector for almost 2 years via my Office Live account. With the last
update to the connector software, it seems that the connector does not sync
properly and delete items from the server.

I use the connector on 3 machines to sync. My office PC, my notebook, and my
home PC. I can go ALL DAY long at the office, delete emails from early in
the morning (and empty the deleted items folder), and when I get home to use
my account, the mail is still in the deleted items folder. My Send/Receive
settings are set to sync every 5 minutes.

What REALLY drives me crazy, is some mornings I check my email at home
before leaving, purposely click the Send/Receive button, and when I get to
my office, the mail I read @ home is still bold as if were not read.

Obviously, the connector still needs some work. I would really like to see
it work to the point that it has an instant sync with the server.

Perhaps you'd be better off posting this in the Connector section at
