Outlook connector

[sailor1]

I use Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Calendar for my personal mail. I
use Outlook for my business mail. I installed Outlook Connector v
12.0.6423.1000. That gave me a new account (my personal mail account) in
Outlook. However, while I see the Live Calendar, it does not sync with my
Outlook calendar. In addition, there are no messages in the personal mail
account inbox. When i display the Send/Receive dialog box, I see that the
bar is sitting halfway toward completion but stops there. Also, when I look
at Data file Management, under data file location for my personal account, it
says not available. I am using Outlook 2007, with Widows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I mostly want to sync my calendars, and it would also be very nice to read
and send my personal account from Outlook. What am I doing wrong and how do
I fix it?

The connector only syncs the calendar in the connector's mailbox with the
calendar at hotmail/live. It doesn't sync the calendar in your personal
folders with hotmail/live.

If you press Ctrl+6 to switch to the folder list, do you have two sets of
folder listed? If so, you need to set the hotmail account as default and
move the items from the personal folder calendar to the hotmail calendar.

If you only have one folder, try uninstalling the connector and reinstalling
it.
