I have Windows XP and wanted to create email copies into my outlook express account while still receiving emails in my WLM account. What I did instead was export my emails from my WLM account and sent to Outlook Express. While I am able to read my email in hotmail as soon as I open Outlook Expressit deletes the email in my hotmail account while retaining a copy in OE.
