can't receive hotmail e-mails with Outlook 2007

[Paul]

I have outlook 2007, I installed outlook connector, and want to send/receive
my hotmail account e-mails using outlook 2007. I can send e-mails through
outlook just fine, but for some reason I cannot receive e-mails through
outlook, even though I know they exist when directly logging into my hotmail
account.

Any help is appreciated.

Still doesn't work. The only update I have is when I look at the Server
status, in the bottom right corner, it endlessly says "connecting" for mail,
calandar, and contact. I do find that odd.

Have you converted your Hotmail account to a Live Hotmail account?

 

[Paul]

Yes, I do.

Anthing else to try. It seems connector hides the incoming server from teh
user. How do I determine this?

My connector version is: 12.0.4518.1063

for reasons I cannot explain, it works just fine now. I made no changes to
make this work, it just does.

Very odd.

I have exactly the same issue as above. I have syncronised 2 Hotmail
accounts to my Outlook 2003 using the Connector. One account works fine while
the otehr one will only send messages from Outlook but cannot receive any
messages. Serveur satus always shows as connecting. Ive uninstalled and
installed three times the Connector and Outlook but still no resolution. Any
help its driving me crazy ?

 

[Ben]

Ok, same as above. For unknown reasons this is now functionning though I had
given up and hadn't changed anything.
