Selecting hotmail folders to receive

My Hotmail inbox has 20 odd pages of history. How do I stop all this being
downloaded every time I run 'Send/Receive'?

Re: Selecting hotmail folders to receive

It shouldn’t be downloading all your history every time you hit
send/receive.
WLM works by downloading all your emails and storing a copy of them on your
system. When everything has downloaded (which may take a while if you've
got a large inbox etc.) then the next time you open WLM it will only
download the new items.
It sounds like what's happening is that WLM is still trying to download all
the original content. Just let that happen, once it has then it won't
download all that again.

I experienced the same.
Try to move all your history to the storage folder and it works.
