outlook 2003 with hotmail - need my custom folders

hey,

so ive read that using outlook 2003 with microsoft connector running, you can use outlook with hotmail, it connects and everything. but one problem. none of my custom folders will download. any suggestions??

ETA: The folder did download. but im not crazy about the order of the folders, and cant find customization...

i have also tried windows mail with freepops running. the problem there is the same, it makes my email account as one folder within 'local folders' instead of on its own, with its own subfolders.

basically, im looking for windows live mail that will allow a preview pane for junk mail. i dont mind using it (since theres no more outlook express in vista), but i need that ability to see the junk without having to actually opening it. there must be some way, im just not sure how.

unless tehres some way i dont know about to be able to use outlook express in vista? installed from somewhere??

another complaint abuot windows live mail, is that the message headers in the preview are HUGE! i know you can turn them off completely, but id like a smaller header, but still a header.

if someone could let me know abuot these things, that would be great. thanks!
