I have NEVER had any mail from one hotmail account get into some other
hotmail account when accessed via OE. In other words, hotmail account A and
hotmail account B, when viewed in OE the mail appears in the correct A=A,
B=B accounts.

I have never had the email _actually_ get across the accounts. However,
with Hotmail A _and_ Hotmail B _both_ in a single Identity, I have
actually _seen_ email from account A listed in the account B folder tree
in MSOE. I _could_ fix that by closing MSOE, then reopening it, when it
happened, because it didn't happen 100% of the time. It was very
annoying when it happened, though; and the only solution that ever
worked for me was to simply create one Identity for each MSN Hotmail
account, and just use Identity A for Hotmail account A, and Identity B
for Hotmail account B, and so on.

Just a bit of flakiness in MSOE. At this time, I only have a single
Hotmail account which I can access through MSOE. MSN was, originally,
going to just turn it off for all free Hotmail accounts. They ultimately
relented, and continue to allow access to free accounts which had access
prior to their Sept. 26, 2004 cutoff date; but, by then, my other
Hotmail accounts had expired.

And I only use MS Outlook Express for one single, extremely useful
feature: I can actually move email between the desktop and the client. I
can forward email as an attachment to accounts which I access with
Pegasus Mail. PM allows me to save the attached email message as an .eml
file. MSOE allows me to drag and drop the .eml file into an MSOE folder.
Then I can use IMAP accounts to move that email around within the mail
clients.
