Hi thanks for the comments so far. the download failure has only occurred for the custom folders, the multiple downloads are for the inbox and the custom folders (if it is downloading them at all). I also don't change a running system, I learned that a while ago. The "download unread emails only" option is not activated, only the "mark as read" option. So, who then keeps the list of what has been downloaded, the Hotmail server?
