That's right. If you're signed in to WLMail with your live.co.uk Live ID,
the "Add an e-mail account" wizard should detect the type of account and set
it up for you automatically as an HTTP account.

With an HTTP account, what you see if you log in to your account on the web
will be mirrored exactly in WLMail by the synchronization process. If you
ever want to save a message locally but delete it from the web version, you
have to move it to a folder under Storage folders.
