This connector requires you to have a hotmail subscription :/

Really? You need a hotmail account?...for Microsoft Windows Live?...Really? Hummmm....go figure. Wow...I would have never figured that Microsoft would have a connector for their Live service and that they would require that you need to have a hotmail, msn or live email account. Wow!!

This connector requires you to have a hotmail subscription :/

i.e. you need to have a MSN Premium or MSN Plus subscription

No, you don't. It works fine with my free Live Mail account

Free Hotmail account does not equal Hotmail subscription (pay per month or year). Like Yahoo hotmail offers a free and paid email services, Hotmail plus and MSN Premium.

I get the same thing.

Remember people that it was free a lot of time ago, the Microsoft begin to charge for the service but it lets the people that already sign up for it or that really use it to continue.

That's the problem so some of you will have access to the service and others no.

I have access because i used to manage my hotmail account from outlook express a lot of time ago.

#3.1 one321 on 03 Nov 2006 - 19:09

I thought I had the same situation as you, but I guess not. It would be nice... I guess I'll just have to keep using my hotmail account less and less.

Outlook 2007 can connect to Live Mail just fine without the connector addon

#5.1 Neobond on 04 Nov 2006 - 09:58

Thanks, I'll give that a go..

Works for me. The only thing that doesn't work is the calendar and I don't really care about that.

Mail: Last successfully refreshed at 1:15 PM.
Calendar: Error at 1:15 PM.
Contacts: Last successfully refreshed at 1:15 PM.

Errors :
