After Outlook Connector sync, deleted messages remain in Hotma

I signed up for Hotmail Plus and immediately used the POP aggregation to

bring all of my Gmail into my Hotmail account. This imported approximately

15,000 messages.

I used Outlook Connector (v 12.0.06423.1000) to sync this to Outlook 2007

(12.0.6316.5000 SP1 MSO 12.0.6320.5000). It took all night but I got all my

messages into Outlook, where I proceeded to delete all but ~100 messages,

create a few folders, and so on. I left things in that state for another day

or so, to allow everything to sync up.

But they have not sync'd yet. Hotmail is still showing 8766/8746

(total/unread) messages in the Inbox; Outlook on my laptop shows 18/0. The

Deleted Items folder is also not synced - on my Outlook, this folder contains

0/0 items; in Hotmail it contains 7081/6981.

In other words, massive numbers of messages deleted in Outlook are not being

deleted in the Hotmail instance.

FWIW, I tried getting support from the Windows Live Help community. Here's

the link: https://windowslivehelp.com/community/t/37528.aspx ... essentially

they fobbed off to the "Outlook Connector Support" Team which I have been

unable to get help from, so I thought I'd try this newsgroup.

Thanks for your consideration of this issue!

Have you tried deleting then readding the account in the Outlook Connector

menu?

Thanks for the reply Brian. I had not tried that! But when I do, I don't see

any clear way to do it. Here's what I saw under the Outlook Connector Menu:

http://f.imagehost.org/0696/outlook-connector-menu.png

But that gave me the idea to try removing and re-adding the account under

Tools/Account Settings. I only had the @live.com account listed there, so it

complained that I needed to have another data file. From File/New I created

one called TEMP, then opened it from File/Open/Outlook Data File. I then

removed the @Live.com account in Tools/Account Settings, and closed Outlook.

In the folder C:\Users\myusernake\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook I moved

all but TEMP.pst to another folder. I reopened Outlook, and used the Outlook

Connector menu to re-add my old account. To save time I also changed the

Download Mode to 'Download Headers'.

Sadly, the Tasks and Notes I had created in the old Live.com account were

NOT automatically moved to the new PST I had created. But I did see that I

was re-downloading all mail into my folders, including Deleted Items.

I let it do that for awhile, and when Outlook seemed to have the same number

of items as the web instance of Hotmail, I went ahead and deleted everything

in Deleted items (6792 emails).

Hotmail still shows all 6792 Deleted Items, even after syncing several

times, closing/ropening Outlook, etc.

To delete them all in the Hotmail web interface would mean 203 manual

actions, since I would have to delete a screen at a time and each screen

holds 25 items. Yecch!

I'm having the exact same problem!

I've deleted hundreds of email already in my outlook but it won't upload the

changes to my msn http inbox. Whenever I send/receive in outlook and I check

my internet inbox, the messages I've deleted are still there. How do I make

my internet inbox reflect my outlook inbox??

Gosh, I can really relate with your dilemma regarding the difficulty in

manually deleting all those email messages in the web interface!!!

Unlike outlook, wherein i can just highlight multiple messages at a time,

the internet inbox of msn requires me to check each message i wish to delete

one by one. This is a hell of a job when you're deleting hundreds of email!

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
