Question asked on Sep 14, 2013

I am migrating to outlook.com.  My existing email account is accessible via HTTP, IMAP or POP.  I have been using HTTP exclusively.

 

I read up and found out it was EASY using Outlook 2003 and the Outlook Connector.  Since I had Outlook (I hadn't been using it), I defined my existing email account to it.  I then installed the Outlook Connector and defined by new OUTLOOK.COM email account to it.

 

They now both show in the Outlook All Mail Folders pane. 

 

But when I copy a folder from old to new, it shows in Outlook, but when I login to OUTLOOK.COM, nothing.  I can close and re-open OUTLOOK and the copied folders show up, but never in OUTLOOK.COM!!!

 

I don't plan on continuing to use OUTLOOK - I'm using it only to migrate my emails to OUTLOOK.COM.

 

Why are my folders not showing up?  What am I doing wrong.

 

Stuck.
