My brother had to reinstall Vista. After he set up Outlook 2002 for his
Windows Live Hotmail account, he could send mail okay; however, he is
unable to receive mail, and gets this error message: "Folder:Inbox
Synchronizing headers.' reported error (0x800CCCF7) : 'The server
responded 'This operation is not permitted for this type of client." I
thought that was an error for using the wrong version of Outlook
Connector, which isn't available for Outlook 2002??? What is the easiest
way to fix this issue?

Thanks,
Jim
