One of the main reasons I used hotmail was that it didn't keep my folders on
my local PC. This has two advantages. (1) It lets me access them from any PC
(2) It means that I don't have backup issues. For these reaosns, except for
hotmail, I use IMAP.
I don't much care for the web client because I am a heavy email user with
multiple client.
No, I purchased a product, a hotmail subscription, with the expectation that
it would work a certain way for the duration of the subscription. In fact,
recently Microsoft announced that the only way to use OE with hotmail, was
to pay for it. I will be quite happy if Microsoft refunds the remainder of
my subscription. If faced with refunding subscriptions for a few million
people they might bend a bit.
