I made the three insertions in the _oe file, and opening WLM there is no _hotmail, only the sign in link. Does this bit of code effect WLM 2009?
It's just an account configuration file - not code.
If I was clear and you followed the instructions there should be an empty folder named _oeacts in the WEmail tree

Ok, I think I resolved it... the file I'm attaching did create a new mail account in my WEmail
My best guess is that the DUMMY fields caused WEmail to ignore the configuration
WarningDO NOT edit the oeaccount file.
All configuration MUST be done inside WLM 2009
Zip file: OLcomOE attached
OLcomOE.zip contents: _oeacts folder
_oeacts folder contents: account{44DCDAED-52A4-41CB-9321-D2BC171779AF}.oeaccount
Exit WLM 2009
Download OLcomOe.zip to your downloads folder
Open OLcomOE.zip
Extract _oeacts folder
copy _oeacts folder to C:\Users\YOURLOGIN\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
Answer yes to replace if prompted
Check that C:\Users\YOURLOGIN\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\_oeacts folder exists and contains the new oeaccount file account{44DCDAED-52A4-41CB-9321-D2BC171779AF}.oeaccount
If everything is in place, launch WLM 2009
I changed the name of the new mail account to be OLcom
NoteRight click on OLcom | slect properties | change ONLY the personal information (eMail address, Password, Diplay name, and Email Username-include full Email address in Email username)
I suggest Outlook.com instead of hotmail.com
This created the ol account, but I still couldn't sync with hotmail, using neither hotmail nor outlook.
Let me be sure I understand you.
When you say sync - what do you mean?
POP3 protocol doesn't sync. It sends and recieves, the client keeps track of what it has rcv'd and keeps sent mail locally.
Sync= signing in to the hotmail account and in doing so will download/and/or open the hotmail account.
Here are screenshots of a working outlook.com account. The addresses have been changed for this post.
Please compare to your OLcom account.
I double checked the server names and ports - they are correct for hotmail/outlook.com
I did find this little tidbit regarding WLM 2009, POP mail, and Hotmail/outlook.
It is really more of a question that a suggestion. Did you ever do what is described below?
If NO, then we're barking up the wrong tree.
If NO, then I suspect the account should be set up using HTTP server
If NO
DO NOT do it.
