little bubble that says "cannot connect to services.hotmail.com(or something
like that) Outlook is going in offline mode" This is really bugging me

If it a paid or free Hotmail account? What version of Outlook?

I'd be very surprised if you could use OL 2007 with Hotmail. MSN has
disabled Outlook access to free accounts for the majority of the free
accounts. MSN wants you to buy Hotmail Plus or Premium in order to use
Outlook with your Hotmail account.

Instructions on how to set up a gmail account in Outlook are on the gmail
web site, so I'm told.
