I recently had to rebuild my XP machine (using an XP SP3-slipstreamed install
CD). For some reason, when I tried to re-add my hotmail.com e-mail to
Outlook 2003 (with all updates applied from Microsoft Update), it no longer
gave me the option of adding a Hotmail account, only an MSN account. This
lead me to what I thought would be a useable solution to accessing my Hotmail
through Outlook: The Outlook Connector.
After downloading and installing the Outlook Connector and restarting
Outlook 2003, I added my hotmail.com e-mail address and waited...and
waited...and waited. I saw my hotmail e-mail folders, and even my contacts,
but there were no messages inside any of the mail folders. Upon checking the
little status bar in Outlook, the connector reported:
Error in Mail
There is an error synchronizing your mail account. Please verify your
account has been configured correctly by first accessing your mail on the web.
Error: 4350
I logged in to my Hotmail account via the web (which I migrated to the new
Windows Live Hotmail a couple of years ago) and searched around for any type
of configuration in the options that would allow me to "configure" it to work
with the Outlook Connector, but couldn't find anything. I looked in the
"Sync Issues" folder and found the following errors (repeated several times):
Error Synchronizing Message
Error with Send/Receive.
Error Synchronizing Message
Error: 8004010f
Server Command: DELETE
Error Synchronizing Message
Error: 80004003
Server Command: ADD
After Googling around and finding out that others were having similar
problems, I tried removing the Hotmail account in Outlook, uninstalling the
Outlook Connector, reinstalling, readding the Hotmail account, repairing the
Outlook Connector, rebooting, reinstalling, etc...all to no avail. I use
Outlook with an Exchange account, and prior to rebuilding my machine, I was
able to access my Hotmail without the infamous Outlook Connector just fine.
Why, Microsoft? <sigh>
If anyone has found any way to simply access Hotmail accounts via Outlook
2003, please share.
Frustrated,
