I've set up mac mail (v7.0) with my @hotmail.com account using imap following the steps described in this thread

But after a few weeks only 72 messages are showing in my inbox (whereas there are thousands there on the web) one message is from a few weeks ago, about 30 messages from last month and the rest from 2011.

The sent, junk and trash folders appear to be up to date, so it is only the inbox that is causing problems.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated

Thanks

Matt
