Outlook 2007, Office Live Mail and Windows Live Mail

OK,

Home computer I use Outlook 2007 for my email. I have 2 email accounts a
MSN and an Office Live account, I assume they are essentially both Hotmail
accounts. I use the Outlook Connector and everything is great.

I have a laptop that I work from, I took off Outlook 2007 and only use
Office Live to access email. Everything is still great. Changes I make in
Outlook, deletes, move to folders, etc. are reflected in my Office Live mail.
Only real problem is I can't import vcards in to the Office Live contacts.

So I install Windows Live Mail. Low and behold, it has a ton of emails that
I've deleted from either Outlook or Office Live and shows emails unread that
I've viewed in both.

I'm sure I have some POP3, Hotmail, Imap or something set up wrong but I'm
not sure where to start. I really only need to use Live Mail to import a
vcards into contacts and then get them into Office live but if I can get a
better Outlook type function, I'm game.

Ideas, simplifications?

Thanks,

Brad

If you want your Hotmail account to synchronize across clients, then you
must set the Account/Server type to HTTP in all clients. IMAP is not an
option for Hotmail. POP3 will not synchronize across clients.
