I'm sorry but you are incorrect, there are 2 ways to setup Hotmail:
Hotmail can be setup as a POP account or as an Exchange account, when setup using ActiveSync (Exchange) instead of POP it synchronizes all mail folders, contacts and calendars.
Ooops, misread the OP
How is your Hotmail account setup, POP or Active Sync?
I have no idea:s sorry not really updated with so much technology.can you tell me how I can find out?
Do this:
How to Setup Hotmail ActiveSync on iPad device
1. From the Home Screen, tap Settings >“Mail, Contacts, Calendar” > “Add Account” > “Microsoft Exchange”
2. Enter the following in fields:
Email: your full Hotmail email address
Domain: Leave blank
Username: your full Hotmail email address
Password: your password
Description: Hotmail
Server: m.hotmail.com
SSL: Enabled
Certificate: Accept the SSL certificate when prompted
Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks: All can be enabled.
3. After finishing the configuration, select the data to sync and tap on Save button.
iPad will connect to Hotmail ActiveSync and perform an initial sync for the selected data. You are able to push email, calendar, and contacts with Exchange ActiveSync now. Enjoy it!
After you set this up and test that it is working you can delete the other Hotmail account.

I've already done that.but my folders except inbox are not appearing for hotmail
Thank you so much Csound. After all this time, I always thought one could not set up Hotmail as an exchange account. I've successfuly set it up on my iPhone and iPad and it syncs between both devices and my computer as one would expect an exchange account to do. Thanks again.......
thanks csound. this solve all my problems regarding hotmail folders, contacts in one move! excellent
ok it seems it works on ipad but on imac?
