Accessing Windows Live Hotmail from Outlook

[Blue Max]

We would like to access the email at a new Windows Live email address in
Outlook 2007. So far this has not been a problem. We access all our
Comcast accounts (POP3), Hotmail accounts (HTTP), and MSN accounts (HTTP)
from within Outlook without any problem. We can also send messages from
Outlook through all our HTTP accounts. But this new email, which has uses
the @live.com domain, does not seem to work.

We set up an Outlook account for it, hoping that @live.com was an HTTP type
account, and it seems to connect without any errors (at least it's not
kicked offline). However, we cannot see any mail in the Outlook Inbox for
this account. Yet, there are several emails in the inbox when we use the
web browser to access the email, so we know there are some.

We have never had to use the MSN connector before and would rather not due
to bad experiences in the past.

Any suggestions on why we cannot configure this Windows Live email account
in Outlook? Thank you for any suggestions.

AFAIK; the Outlook Connector is the way to go. As you have more Hotmail/MSN
accounts configured already you can see if it works with only the Live
account in a separate mail profile. If it doesn't; Outlook Connector.

Thanks, Roady. Do you know if the email accounts, obtained at Microsoft's
Live.com, are HTTP accounts that would normally be configured the same as
Hotmail or MSN accounts in Outlook?
