Please log in for more thread options Chilumba: Hmm... Although definitely related, the question isn't about
Messenger, it is about Hotmail.
ECL: The problem is that Hotmail/Live Mail uses a non-standard mail
retrieval protocol (not POP3 or IMAP4).
The only alternative I can think of is to start switching your contacts away
from your non-primary Hotmail account (keep the main one) by signing up with
a service that supports IMAP4 (POP3/SMTP is not a great combination either
for the Smartphone). Some webhosting providers, for example, will let you
create a large number of independent email accounts for, say $6.95/month.
You can have up to 8 email accounts configured for Inbox on a Windows Mobile
device.
