Outlook Connector for Hotmail

adonis · 26 Aug 2011

Hi, I don't usually post a thread but spend most of time searching the others' posts which suit my situation. But for this, I couldn't find anywhere else so I decided to ask for help. My OS is win 7 32bit and I'm using office outlook 2007. I've been using yahoo and google accounts through outlook 2007 without any problems. But for hotmail account, I found out that I had no choice but to use outlook connector, so I downloaded and installed it (latest version; 14.0.6106.5001) and added my hotmail account. But when I click inbox, nothing happens. Here's my error log; Outlook Hotmail Connector Version 14.0.6106.5001 Account: *********@hotmail.com Signed in successfully at 2011/8/26 pm 09:30:41 Mail: Error at 9:30 pm Calendar: Contacts: Last successfully refreshed at 9:30 pm.

Does you mail account settings on the web allow for you to choose what type of email server you want ie: IMAP or POP and do the setting correspond to what is in the connector program and outlook? There should also be some type of instructions I would think on the hotmail account on how to set it up or on the connector program.

Hmm I'm looking at hotmail right now and it doesn't seem to have any of the above and it's only POP.

thx for your quick reply. I don't think I can choose the type of mail server I want in the hotmail account settings on the web cuz it is a free account. I think this article would be a bit of help understanding my problem.
What are MSN HotMail's POP3 and SMTP settings for Outlook Express?
In order to use microsoft outlook to access my free hotmail account, I had to use outlook connector but not much information about how to troubleshoot its related problem is available online and even if there is, they don't really suit my situation.
I think the only way is to dig in to this 'outlook connector'.
plz any help would be appreciated.
