Windows live Mail delets mail from my hotmail account

I just got windows live mail and set it up. I noticed that it automatically
deletes mail from my hotmail account. When i log into hotmail.com i see no
emails in my inbox. However i do see mail on my iphone and windows live mail.
I have used webmail for over 15 years and like to have a copy on the web. I
log into hotmail from different computers to check my mail and cannot load
windows live mail for my work pc.
I clicked on tools>accounts> selected my account under mail> properties.
At this point i was looking for the advanced tab. However i only have
general, server, connection and security.

I would greatly apprecaite any help i can get to resolve this issue.

Thank You
Govind

Http access doesn't have an Advanced tab. Http access mirrors the hotmail
folders.
Is your view set to Show all messages? Alt + V, Show or hide, Show all
messages.

If your Hotmail account is set up as HTTP, you should see the same
messages in WLM under the Hotmail account as you do the web interface.
Anything you do in WLM affects the web mail. If you delete a message in
WLM it gets deleted in web mail. If you move a message out of the
Hotmail folders in WLM to a storage folder, that will delete the message
from the web mail.

I'm guessing that your iPhone is using POP3 access. Check the settings
there to make sure that it isn't set to delete messages from the server
on download. That's a POP3 option and in many mail clients it is the
default.

The iPhone and iPod Touch both use Pop3 to access your Hotmail account(Hotmail.com, Live.com or Msn.com)
Pop3 access for Hotmail by design, if the email client is not configured to leave messages on the server, will first download a
copy of the message to the local email client; second, the message that existed in the Hotmail inbox is moved to the web UI Deleted
folder as an unread item; 3rd, it will remain in the web UI Deleted folder for five days before permanent deletion.


To ensure the iPhone is configured to leave messages on the Hotmail server for access in a different email client...then check your
account settings on the iPhone.
- Note: The same would be required of any other email client(using Pop3) to retrieve Hotmail messages from the web UI to ensure
messages can be read on both devices.
