Have full Outlook on my desktop with a hotmail account. I recently bought a
new laptop, when I installed and ran Live Mail it sync and brought in most of
the folders but not all that I had in Outlook. When I "right click" the
hotmail account in Live Mail the "Download all Folders" is greyed out so I
can't ask it to check the server again for new folders. I am running Vista
Home 64bit on the laptop and XP Pro on the desktop. Any advice would be
appreciated.

Did you also have Outlook Connector?
Is the Hotmail account setup as http account?

Yes have Outlook Connector with the full Outlook on the Desktop. Not sure if
the Hotmail is setup as a http account (but I can read emails through
explorer but the same folder is still missing). How would I check if its a
http account? Also its strange that it only seems to affect one folder. thx

Ron thanks for the quick response. Am currently out of town until next week
so don't have access to the desktop. Willl check and post accordingly but I
don't think its set up as a POP3 as Hotmail has not traditionally been able
to set up that way.

As of February, 2009, free Hotmail accounts have been given POP3 access. As
of Sept. 1, 2009, HTTPMail has stopped working for clients using the WebDAV
protocol (MS Outlook Express, MS Outlook 2003, MS Outlook 2007, and a couple
of others).

Consequently, anybody using the affected clients will have to either use
POP3 access, or download software which uses the new HTTPMail "DeltaSync"
protocol: Office Outlook Connector for OL2003/OL2007, or Windows Live Mail
for any of the other affected applications.

Something doesn't make sense...

If you installed Live Mail on the new machine it did not synchronize with Outlook on your desktop.
The only possible events that could have occurred.
1. You mean Outlook Express which during WLM installation and setup, WLM would attempt to migrate data from Outlook Express
or
2. A sync occurred with the Hotmail web interface for that Hotmail account when that Hotmail account Live ID was used to logon to
Windows Live in WLM.

If you have the Outlook Connector installed on Outlook 2003 or 2007 and that Hotmail account setup in the Outlook Connector it is
http.
- the Outlook Connector needs to be the current version(12.0.6423.1000...oddly names version 12.1)

If you do not have the account configured in the Outlook Connector, but in the Outlook itself then it would be Pop3 or the WebDAV
setup
- WebDAV was discontinued effective Sept 1

Finally, WLM, also, does not have an import option for Outlook. Nor does Outlook export to WLM.

For us to help..you need to inform us of the following:
1. Outlook version
2. Outlook Connector Version
3. Http account setup in the Outlook Connector or WebDAV setup in Outlook or Pop3 setup in Outlook

Once your Hotmail account is setup in the Outlook Connector in OL03 or OL07...any messages in the Outlook default folders(Inbox,
Sent, etc) can be copied in to the Hotmail account in the Outlook Connector folders for syncing to the Hotmail server. Once done,
the Hotmail account should be setup as an http account in WLM, then sychronized to pull the folders and messages down to the
account in WLM.
