Thanks for your help Scott, John and Brandon! Yes, I've had the hotmail account for a long time, years. There's alot stored up there at this point. And I like the folders feature, where I have different e-mails sorted into different folders automatically. But now I'm not sure that feature is transferable over to the Mac mail client.
Thanks for the plugin info. I'll look for it. I have Leopard, and the latest update installed. here's hoping!
