I am assuming that, when using pop3.live.com, you also are not able to download messages that Hotmail classifies as junk? If it's not inconvenient, can someone tell us how this behaves? I have a US account so I can't use the free POP access yet.
I ask because, it's annoying to have to log in to the web interface to check for mail accidentally classified as junk, and I think they've removed the option to completely disable the junk filter in Hotmail. I'd rather just download all the mail and filter it client-side. This is why I really appreciate the Webmail extension's option to also download the junk folder. :-) On Jan 20, 12:53 pm, Chris Clifton <[email protected]> wrote: > Just tested this, if a mail is in a custom folder on Hotmail, it doesn't > get downloaded using POP. > > > > alanrf wrote: > > POP recognizes no folder information.
