If you setup all accounts on all computers then they should be kept in sync automatically. I must admit I've never tried to sync using foldershare but the directories that you would be interested in are found at :- c:\documents and settings\[your windows account]\local settings\application data\microsoft\windows live mail Then in there you should see folders marked hotmail etc. which is where your mail resides and if you have Newsgroups setup you should see folders for the newsgroups as well.

But the mail folders and newsgroup folders get messed up. Not sure how or why, but they do. No biggie as I don't really care. And I don't really use hotmail for email much. I use WLMDesktop for my regular POP3 account. If I download on one pc those won't be on the others. That is why it might be worth syncing them.
