Microsoft Office Outlook Connector "Synapse Syndrome" <synapse[ at ]NOSPAMgomez404.elitemail.org> 6/22/2007 7:31:22 PM I have two Hotmail accounts that I opened nearly a decade ago. Therefore they still are able to be accessed through Outlook and Outlook Express. As they still have this functionality, is there any benefit of using this Microsoft Office Outlook Connector? Does it add any more features, and does it still keep the emails and interface free from adverts? Thanks ss.

RE: Microsoft Office Outlook Connector Mary 6/22/2007 8:06:01 PM Skip it for now. I've tried it and it doesn't work on the free Hotmail accts. BTW, Vista's Windows Mail (formerly OE) will not access Hotmail as OE did. I assume the connector might be needed for Office 2007 Outlook. I have 2003.

Re: Microsoft Office Outlook Connector "Diane Poremsky" <outlookmvp[ at ]msn.com> 6/22/2007 8:14:54 PM No real benefit, except the connector also brings down contacts. (Calendar sync is for paid accts only). There are no ads with the connector. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request[ at ]lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST[ at ]PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM "Synapse Syndrome" <synapse[ at ]NOSPAMgomez404.elitemail.org> wrote in message news:e0lCtPQtHHA.4796[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Microsoft Office Outlook Connector "Diane Poremsky" <outlookmvp[ at ]msn.com> 6/22/2007 8:23:30 PM It does work with free accts but you need to convert them to the "live" servers - there is a link on the hotmail page when you log in. http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2007/20070612.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request[ at ]lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST[ at ]PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM "Mary" <Mary[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1CCB3C90-E8A1-49CA-BEBF-97DF14C1203A[ at ]microsoft.com...
