I think what he is saying is that he created multiple extra folders on
Hotmail, and he CAN get his mail in TBird, but it does not create and
populate the many extra folders. Maybe TBird just downloads the inbox? I
haven't used it in years, so I can't remember if it will, or not. The way I
used to get around this issue previously was to disable all my filters
functioning thru Hotmail, so that all the mail goes to the inbox. I then
re-created my extra folders and filters, locally, with my email program of
choice. Hotmail went thru a period of time that made it very difficult to
get your mail unless you were at their site on a browser. It no longer
functions this way.
