Hey. I am having this same problem. I downloaded Outlook connector almost a
year ago to work with my Outlook 2003 to connect my free Live Hotmail
account. All worked great until about 6 mos ago, it quit connecting. I
deleted my mailbox and reset up the account and it worked for another 3 mos
and quit again. It pretends it is downloading but doesn't synch. No new mail.
I deleted and reconnected my account again, and it worked for 2 days and
quit. What the heck? Any fixes for this?

hey I don’t know if any of you are still watching this thread or not but I
am sorry it has taken me so long to get around to trying it with the
firewall disabled. turns out that the firewall has no effect on or off.
should I use the connector in a separate outlook data file maybe?

let us know how it works in oh, 9 days. Until then you can use HTTP to
access hotmail but on June 30 they are disabling HTTP access - only
DeltaSync will work and you need the connector for that.

How odd! I am able to use Outlook 07 to check, send, and receive Hotmail
without the connector.

You should upgrade to Windows Live Mail--Hotmail's replacement.
Instructions
for setting up the connector for use with Hotmail are he

I use outloook 2007 on vista ultimate sp1. I would like to be able to
use
outlook to send and receive all of my hotmail emails. I tried the
outlook
connector but it never actually connects to my account. if I click the
connector toolbar it shows mail, calendar, and contacts all with the
same
status of "Connecting" although it never actually does. I know that
the
calendar function is only available to subscribers. I called ms support
and
the guy told me I would have to have a paid account to use the
connector. To
my understanding, the connector is supposed to allow free accounts to
download and send messages using outlook. And if I had a paid account I
would just use the POP3 support to get my messages and not some plugin.
On
the other hand, I would just use windows live mail (which is what I am
doing
as a workaround right now) but I really like having all of my
organizational
stuff in one program thus I think that outlook rocks. what I don't get
is
why outlook uses DAV instead of DeltaSync? Outlook is a program you buy
and
it is using an older protocol than a free program. it just doesn't make
sense to me. [now coming off of soap box] is there something I am
missing on
getting my hotmail into outlook? when ever I create an account (using
the
connector) it shows a new tree for my hotmail account but all of the
folders
are empty and the status as I mentioned earlier never changes. Any help
would be much appreciated.

There's been a new version - have you got the most up to date version?
Should be 12.0.4518.1068

Yes. I downloaded it again the other day and it is this version and still
doesn't work. Here is the error on the detailed report.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to verify. On the web, it all works fine.
