Default Outlook Connect Error

I have one Live Hotmail account connected to OL2007 using the latest OL
Connect sofware.

I want to connect a second. So I used Outlook Connect-Add New Account, but
when I try to open the "folder" for the account I get and error message -

"Cannot expand the folder. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file
c:\.....\accountname_live.ost is not an offl;ine folder file"

The account does not seem to be connected -

this problem fixed itself after a system restart - I dont know nor do I care
to know why this is so - did it on a hunch

Default Outlook Connect Error

Restarting outlook might have fixed it too - but regardless, a reboot is a
good first step when troubleshooting. (I'm guessing that you restarted
outlook but it didn't close properly and therefore, it wasn't a true
restart.)
