You downloaded your email to WLM which removed them from the Hotmail server and put them on your computer. If you want future emails to be in both places, you need to go into the WLM setup and set it to leave your email on the server for a given no. of days. I leave mine for 30 days.
Good luck.
Hi,
I created a new Hotmail account, and decided to discontinue using the first one.
However, I had many saved Folders in my old account, and I needed to transfer them to my new Hotmail account.
Of course, I used Windows Live Mail.
And, it seemed to work. I was able to successfully transfer all my emails (within each Folder) from my old account to the new one.
I can see ALL the messages in Windows Live Mail.
However, when I log into my new account using my Internet Browser (I use Mozilla), I cannot see the emails. All the Folders are EMPTY 
What could be the problem?? How come I can see them when I use Windows Live Mail..........but I cannot see them when I log into my account from a web browser?
