Why yes, I do know that they will work in Outlook 2007, but I also know from personal experience that some grandfathered accounts no longer work with Outlook 2007. YMMV

| Aw come on, Milly, you're an Outlook MVP so you should know that
| grandfathered hotmail/msn accounts such as ours will work with
| Outlook 2007.
|
| What's not clear, though, is why it's so slow (see Tim's post to this
| thread, I second his post) and often doesn't connect at all.
| I have changed my msn password to the wrong one, restarted Outlook and
| changed it back, then performed the settings test to make sure it's
| OK, then when the Accounts applet is closed Outlook suddenly can't
| connect to it. What's even more silly is that at the same time
| Outlook will connect to my hotmail account and deliver the daily spam
| without error, albeit very slowly.
|
| Do you know of any setting (only God and MVPs can accurately navigate
| Outlook's options applet) that might possibly have an effect on either
| problem?

My hotmail plus account will not connect what should I do?!
