mail program with many of the same features as Outlook Express, such as synchronizing your e-mail messages,
folders, contacts, and more. It also includes junk mail filtering and a built-in calendar that works with your
Windows Live Calendar.

OK:

secure connection (SSL) check box.

         Under Delivery, select the Leave a copy of messages on server check box if you want to see your
messages when you use Hotmail in a web browser, your mobile phone, or other e-mail programs. By default,
Outlook Express will delete the messages from the Hotmail server when they are downloaded to your computer.
