First you said that you used Outlook Express. Now you are saying that you
useed Outlook. One is not the other; each is a separate program. Make up
your mind: Did you used to use MS Outlook Express (free component of MS
Internet Explorer 6)? Or did you used to use MS Outlook (included in the
paid MS Office suite, or available, for a price, in a retail box)?
As for trapping spam, MS Outlook Express does not, but Windows Live Hotmail
does. Whatever settings were configured on the web server should be as
applicable for Windows Live Mail as for MS Outlook Express. Probably just a
coincidence that some spam is getting past the Hotmail filters just as you
changed from using one client to using the other.
