Iphone4 / Hotmail advice please

[speak65]

Hi All
Is anyone able to assist me?
I have my hotmail account set up as my mail account on my iphone.

No problem there - however I generally use hotmail from my PC and have a number of rules set up on the hotmail account to deliver mail to various subfolders.

How can I get these folders visible on the iphone?

Thanks in advance

From the first link it appears that your Hotmail email may be set up as POP.

To enable the sub folders to show you need to set up as an IMAP/Exchange account. The added benefit of this is that your email will be "pushed" to your iPhone and still be received almost instantly rather than the iPhone needing to "fetch" the emails.

The links below will explain how to set up your Hotmail account as an Exchange account.
