Hi Ibrahim. Thanks for that explanation. I like this way of retrieving e-mail
as I can check them when ever it suits me on either machine and I don't feel
obliged to run through them all in a mad hurry when I am short of time. I
wonder if I can take it a step further and bring in Mail on my phone? I know
pop3 works on phone but I've never tried Webmail.

Hi Saqib.
This is because Hotmail uses a protocol similar to IMAP where all messages are
stored server side and not downloaded to your computer. If you moved, read or
deleted any messages from your inbox, those changes would show up on all
computers in to which you log in to your mail account, either using mail or
hotmail on the web.
All the best, Ibrahim.

HI. I'm slightly confused about Windows Live Mail. I'm using my Hotmail
account and can't tell whether the messages are downloaded to my computer or
not. The reason why I'm enquiring about this because I was checking my mail
this morning and left 20 messages in my inbox unread. Later on in the day I
logged in to the Mail client and I got the messages in which I'd left unread on
the other machine. I had the 20 messages in which I hadn't read this morning
plus the new ones that came in. This wouldn't happen with a pop3 account
because downloaded messages can not be downloaded again on another machine.
