	Allan Chinwrote: You have permission to access my account. I do not have any custom filters. The junk email filter is set to standard. The problem is not with filtering because I recieve all my emails via the web based hotmail interface. It's using the Outlook connector that's problematic. My hotmail account does not automatically receive emails even though the account is part of the "All Accounts" group of the "Send/Receieve Groups". I can see that the automatic updates get invoked periodically, and my Exchnage account gets updated correctly. But for me to see any of the hotmail emails, I have to manually hit "F9" before the hotmial inbox gets updated. Again, I can see the emails in my Inbox via the web interface. This started to happen about a week ago, with no change to any of my settings. Aug. 1
