       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.
