organizing hotmail emails within outlook 2003

[sjporzio]

At home I have outlook 2003 on windows xp configured so that my hotmail
email is picked up in outlook. I have outlook on exchange at work and
have found that organizing my email by color is invaluable. I tried to
organize my hotmail email by color and with rules, however outlook will
not let me do so. Is there a way around this? If I could get the mail
in my hotmail account into the main default "inbox" under personal
folders in outlook then I can organize the email how I want to, however
when I try to do this I have no success in doing so.

colors are controlled by views, not rules, so apply the same view to the
hotmail folder or create a new view for that folder.
