I'm using Thunderbird to load my Hotmail mail. It works fine (see previous post).

But there is one problem: How can I synchronize the folders I've defined online in Hotmail? And is it possible to archive these mails again in the existing folders?

I'd suggest switching from HotMail to GMail first - GMail supports full syncrhonization via IMAP. I'm guessing HotMail does too, but GMail is better – Webnet Dec 22 '10 at 19:31

http://webmail.mozdev.org/setup.html is the site that has a plugin for thunderbird to synchronize the folders, which works most of the time until Microsoft changes the interface of the folders again :) Then you must wait for an update.

I would recommend switching to GMail, you can have full IMAP access to your folders and perform the synchronization in an easier way.

  • You can continue to use your @hotmail.com address if you want, since Hotmail supports forwarding all your email to @gmail.com
  • An "identity" can be configured under your gmail account to sent mail from your @hotmail.com address.
  • This solution would be more stable over time since it uses the IMAP standard features.
