Not easily, AFAIK. If you're using Outlook XP, you might be able to set up Hotmail in Outlook XP and set up rules to copy it to the "regular" Inbox, which is then syncable.

Does someone else have a better solution?

The problem here is outlook only alows 1 default email account, so if you have 2 hotmail account you can only sync 1, it's anoying i know.....

I've been searching through the net for weeks and found quite a few software which lets you check webmail using your email client. After testing and using every single one of them I found Izymail has the best features, uses up the least memory on the system, runs as a service, doesn't leave another icon on your task bar and its FREE! Just set up a new POP3 or IMAP4 account checking your webmail service on outlook and then u can sync away

Danger Will Robinson!

Outlook will not process rules on hotmail or MSN accounts. No workee!

You need to use one of the products to get your hotmail on your PPC:

Pocket Hotmail et al (http://www.handango.com/PlatformSearch.jsp?siteId=1&jid=CFFEB123D5D27D8XDE93XBXF6ABXX53B&platformId=2&txtSearch=hotmail&optionId=1_2_2)

Or, bring hotmail into Outlook and copy it into your Inbox manually. If you're a software type of geek, you could write a VB script to do that I think.

Sounds much easier to get a Yahoo email account which supports POP3 and then it will sync.
