I use a Mac and bought Microsoft Office Home and Business to organise my emails better through Outlook as my Hotmail account is becoming unmanageable. I added my Hotmail address to Outlook during the setup and all my emails from Hotmail started coming through, which is great; however my problem is I can't get my Outlook to fully talk to my Hotmail, which is synched with my smartphone and tablet

What I mean by this is when I read an email on Outlook, it does not appear 'Read' in Hotmail when I log in online, nor on my smartphone or tablet

I have been sending emails via Outlook, which do appear under 'Sent' in Hotmail online and on my smartphone/tablet, so it seems like the problem above is the only issue outstanding

Can someone help please? Thanks in advance
