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

The only supported method to connect to your Hotmail account in Outlook 2002
is via POP3.

Thanks Roady. I had already provided him with the new POP3 settings for
Hotmal, and that didn't work. I suspect he needed a file via Office
Updates. In any case, we deleted Outlook 2002, downloaded and installed
Windows Live Mail Desktop, and set that up. So far it's working flawlessly.

Outlook 2002 is buggy on vista - using live mail client is a better choice
unless you upgrade to outlook 2003 or 2007.
