That might be it. I haven't quite related it to the moved emails, but I'll
check going forward and will post an update depending on my findings so
others can benefit.

Do you know of anyway that I can be able to retrieve these emails. I tried
to forward them to myself again hoping that there was still a clean copy on
the server. Didn't work, not that I really expected it to.

I was having the same problem, only my blank emails were only showing up in
my Deleted folder. I also run Norton 360 and have turned it off.

I was making one attempted fix a day to see what seemed to fix the problem.
While I am not yet certain that it is permanently fixed the last last thing
that I did was to upgrade to the new beta of Outlook Connector. That seemed
to fix it because it has been 36 hours since the last time I had a bunch of
emails show in the deleted box and it had previously been an issue that
occurred every 24 hours.

My personal opinion is that Microsoft did something on the MSN/Hotmail servers
because a LOT of people have been complaining about the blank message issue.
