Re: receiving for windows live but not for outlook

Is it a POP3 account that you are not receiving mail for in Office
Outlook?

Mail gets downloaded into whatever mail program you run. When using a
POP3 mail server, by default all messages are deleted from the server
after downloading, leaving nothing for another mail program to get.

You need to do any ONE of the following:
- Remove the POP3 mail account in Windows Live Mail (Tools, Accounts,
Mail)
- Tell WLM not to download POP3 mail (Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, General - uncheck the include this account in send and
receive)
- Tell WLM to leave messages on the POP3 server (Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Advanced)
If a Gmail POP3 account, see: Using POP on multiple clients or mobile
devices

Also, depending on your version of Office Outlook you may be able to use
the Outlook Connector in order to access Hotmail

Hey, I just downloaded the Windows live Mail because it was required
in order
to have a hotmail account for Outlook. I really just want to use
Outlook.
But now that I've done this I'm not receiving any emails sent to my
Outlook,
but I am in Window's live. I can send mail via outlook but not
receive any
in my Outlook inbox. What should I do to fix this?
