RE: Outlook & Hotmail Question
Same thing happens with Gmail to me. Its because the Personal Folders is a database within a .pst file on your computer. Your Hotmail mail still exists on the web (although Outlook will keep an offline version of it too in a separate .pst)

RE: Outlook & Hotmail Question
Gmail is either going to use POP or IMAP. If you used POP, then yes, messages will be delivered to a personal folders file. I'm using IMAP, and don't have that option. Hotmail uses a special mode within Outlook that uses HTTP to connect, and I'm not sure how limiting that will be.
