Worth remembering that on your phone it will be using POP3 so they will be 
dleted from the server once they are on your phone as you have already 
mentioned.

Hi.

Yes, you can set up mail on your phone, you can either use a mobile website 
which is a scaled down version of hotmail or the windows live for mobile 
application depending on your preference.  Also, some phones allow you to set 
up hotmail through the phone's own interface but I couldn't tell you whether 
this would be available on your model.  It certainly is on the E71.

All the best, Ibrahim.

  Hi Ibrahim. Thanks for that explanation. I like this way of retrieving e-mail 
as I can check them when ever it suits me on either machine and I don't feel 
obliged to run through them all in a mad hurry when I am short of time. I 
wonder if I can take it a step further and bring in Mail on my phone? I know 
pop3 works on phone but I've never tried Webmail.

  Hi Saqib.

  This is because Hotmail uses a protocol similar to IMAP where all messages 
are stored server side and not downloaded to your computer.  If you moved, read 
or deleted any messages from your inbox, those changes would show up on all 
computers in to which you log in to your mail account, either using mail or 
hotmail on the web.

  All the best, Ibrahim.

    HI. I'm slightly confused about Windows Live Mail. I'm using my Hotmail 
account and can't tell whether the messages are downloaded to my computer or 
not. The reason why I'm enquiring about this because I was checking my mail 
this morning and left 20 messages in my inbox unread. Later on in the day I 
logged in to the Mail client and I got the messages in which I'd left unread on 
the other machine. I had the 20 messages in which I hadn't read this morning 
plus the new ones that came in. This wouldn't happen with a pop3 account 
because downloaded messages can not be downloaded again on another machine.
