I rcently set up hotmail account using Outlook 2007 & Outlook Connector. But
in using it, copies are kept on the server and I don't see how to change
this. Does anyone know if it's possible ? Seems like a waste of time to use
Outlook if I have to keep going to the Website & deleteing emails. thanks in
advance

That's the whole purpose of Hotmail and the Outlook Connector: to keep the
messages on the server but access them through Outlook.

What makes you think you can't delete them. Select a message and click
Delete. Works for everyone else.

My point is that if I download a msg into Outlook and delete it IN OUTLOOK,
it remains on the Server. So how can I get the message to be automatically
deleted ? You might want to think about your sarcastic answers, you actually
didnt answer my question so you don't seem to know as much as you think you
do.

When using the Outlook Connector, you're synchronizing the cache folders on
your PC with the contents of the Hotmail server so they both contain the
same thing. You are not "downloading" your messages in the same sense that
you would if you were using a POP account.

I alreafy gave you the answer. Deleting a message in Outlook deletes it on
the server because Outlook and the server are synchronized. It's how it's
supposed to work and that's how it works for me. No sarcastic answer there.
