This works much better than using local rules anyways as it allows you to change email clients, computers and still have all your mail organized. I personally don't use Hotmail so I can't comment on its ability to set rules directly on your server. I also suspect that having a Hotmail account setup in WLM makes it start up slower since it signs you in to your Hotmail account when starting up which takes a few more seconds (depending on your Internet connection). For me it loads almost instantly on Windows 7 Enterprise from MSDN.

With T-Bird I can click on it, and it opens right up with no problem and there is even a plug-in that allows you to minimize it to the tray so I know when I get messages. Or maybe that's just Windows Mail. Is there a difference? I'm not even sure. ;) Good Article. The only thing I hate about it is it’s soooo slow.
