I have been reading around the forums but have not been able to find an answer to this carefully discussed subject:
Can I sync hotmail premium account (i.e. @msn.com address) with Mac Mail, which includes ALL custom folders that have been created, junk, deleted, and sent messages? You can certainly do this with Entourage 2008. I wish to use everything Mac, but have been experiencing problems i.e. Some messages not being downloaded, some being marked as un-read when they are really read, and custom folders not appearing in Mac mail.
I have configured my Mac Mail with what seems to be the agreeable settings using the MSN Live pop3 and smtp settings. However, I am still having problems as listed above.
I have not tried the HTTP plugin that some have reported to be useful for a number of reasons: I am using Leopard 10.5.6, plug-in may not work, and HTTP mail does not report Junk mail to MSN account. There is a patch for plugin so that it is compatible with 10.5.6, I know, but I do not want to keep updating a third-party plug-in once OS updates are installed, if possible.
So I am stuck. I do not want to change email addresses. I like MSN. I'm sorry gmail folks, but the gmail web interface seems a bit cluttered for my liking. Yes I know it's free, and I know a lot of your like it. But more importantly, changing an email address and reporting it to my contacts would be a pain.
Some advice would be great please. Thanks a lot.
