Now that I finally got my 250MB of storage, I am moving my emails back from Outlook Express to hotmail. but in the Inbox, the dates don't match! the index all show today's date, BUT when I actually *OPEN* the message in IE, it will say the original date (2002 Aug or whatever). Inside OE it shows the correct date. anyone got a clue?
BTW: I used this 'trick' found here to get my 250mb.

Increase your Hotmail inbox to 250MB!
If your hotmail storage is only 2MB and you don't know when it will be enlarged by M$, here is a trick to do it by yourself:
1. Sign in hotmail, click "Options" on the up-right corner, click "My Profile" under "Personal" tab. Then update your "Country/Region" to "United States", select "New York" in "State", type "10009" in "ZIP code" (any other US state & correct zip code also works here), update your profile.
2. Sign in .NET Passport with your hotmail account, click "Member Service" on top, click "Close my .NET Passport account". Don't worry, you can reactivate your account in next step with all existing mails reserved. But remember to do next step right after this step, at least in the same day!
3. Sign in hotmail again with your hotmail account, the system will remind you to activate your account, just follow the instruction to activate it. You now have a 25MB hotmail.
4. Sign out your hotmail and sign in again. If you are as lucky as me, you will find your hotmail is 250MB now! If your hotmail remains 25MB, don't be depressed. Use it daily and pray, then it should be increased to 250MB in days
5. When you got the 250MB hotmail, you can repeat step 1 to restore your own country information. Just relax, the storage won't be shrunk after that
