It would be very handy if Outlook rules could automatically run on messages
in my msn inbox, which I have in Outlook via the Outlook Connector.

You cannot run rules on web mail.

You cannot run rules on web mail.

Accessing Hotmail by Outlook Connector is NOT webmail.

The fact that the Outlook connector allows access to webmail does not change
the fact that Hotmail/MSN is webmail.

I agree, but have you considered implementing the rules on the server side?
See "Automatically sort e-mail into folders" under your Hotmail Options.
