     WLMD I believe has the same export capabilities as Windows Mail =

    Thanks for link.

    So Windows Live Mail Desktop will access Hotmail.
    Do you know if it will export to Outlook (or if Outlook can import)?
    (I mean Microsoft Office Outlook, not Outlook Express.)

    I guess "no" because they need ads to pay for the service.

    I am in the habit of using Outlook Express to download mail from a =
Hotmail
    account. Then I import stuff I want to keep into Office Outlook.

    However, the ability for Outlook Express to access Hotmail seems to =
have
    disappeared from my home system (it worked before; now I get a
    "temporarily moved" error). But it still works on a system at work.
    Strange.
