To: Hal Hostetler, if you'll go back to the threa of 1/17/2009 then you'll
find some additional comments that I made in response to your answer. Thank
you for your attempt to clarify on my original question.
Now, for those of you reading this discussion, I'd like to offer some of my
own findings on the problem. Again, the problem is: How do I get my hotmail
accounts to work properly with the Outlook 2007 program? I have Windows live
hotmail.
To update those of you just coming into this thread: 1) Getting email
accounts into the Outlook 2007 program was a bit of a hassle. 2) Some of the
features available in Outlook 2007 were not available. Specifically, I
didn't see a column for [Categories] nor a column for [Flags] to the right of
any emails that showed up on my Outlook 2007. Some how I had originally
thought I properly registered my hotmail accounts with Outlook 2007.
What I am going to do now is give those of you reading this thread some
infomation which has taken me hours upon hours to figure out. And I've been
working upon this problem for almost a complete week. Needless to say, I am
exhausted from it all. But I am grateful for the insights from others not
only online in this discussion group, but also tech support at Microsoft,
MSN, MSN Partner Support, Verizon Tech Support and Supervisor level
assistance, and a visit to Micro Center to speak representatives.
Please enjoy this little line, but I must live up to my name: Liontamer.
Let me give some things back now:
HTTP, IMAP, POP3, are just protocols used to move emails about the internet.
Windows Live Hotmail is all ready set up with POP3. It just has to be
enabled. And that's where the fun starts. (I just can't believe what I had
to go through to figure this all out.)
You can find out How to Use a POP3 server to add your Windows Live Hotmail
account to Microsoft Outlook at:

There you will find the steps to accomplish the proper way to get a hotmail
account into your Outlook 2007 program. You may have to adjust some of the
instructions, but it's all pretty logical if you think about it. You have to
manually configure server settings or additional server types and click next
to be able to follow instruction #4. The rest is pretty straight forward.
You may also be able to track down this page via the Microsoft Outlook help
pages.
There is indeed something called an Outlook Connector. It is available at
Microsoft as a download. Go to:

I used it to add a second hotmail account to my Outlook 2007 program.
After following the above instuctions and procedures, I was able to properly
get my Windows Live Hotmail accounts into Outlook 2007. And my emails show
the columns used for [Category] and [Flags]. Now I can get some relief.
However, now I've got some other concerns:
Well, I've got folders in these hotmail accounts. And I've noticed that,
even though I have been successful at getting my hotmail accounts into
Outlook, that the emails in the folders of my hotmail accounts did not
transfer over into Outlook 2007. So, I want to figure out how to transfer
the entire folder's contents, instead of sending over each email item, within
each folder, one by one. Yuck! Any Suggestions?
I use Windows XP Professional Media Center Edition, SP3.
I have Outlook 2007 from the Microsoft Office Professional 2007 suite.
Hope I helped some of you reading this. This has been a long learning
process.
