I have a problem with send/receive in Outlook 2003 with my gmail account. I
posted about that issue on January 2, and the problem has not yet been
resolved. Outlook at that time started doing the send/receive with gmail
very slowly, and then gets hung up before finishing the send/receive.

I have since that time heard of the Outlook Connector for hotmail accounts,
and am wondering if that can be used with gmail, and if that might be a
possible solution to my problem. Can the Outlook Connector be used with
gmail?

Thanks, Larry

No.

Hi everybody. I just accidentally fixed the problem that's been driving me
nuts for a while.

Instead of doing a send/receive to send an email, as I almost always do, I
sent it with Tools/Send All. I sent my mail that way this time, figuring
that kind of send wouldn't get things hung up, since the receiving part is
what puts my Outlook 2003 in an endless loop-hangup. Not only did that send
go through without getting hung up, but I have done a few send/receives
since then and none of them have gotten hung up. This is unbelievable -
everything works fine now, for the first time in maybe 2 weeks, just because
I thought to send my mail differently. What a lucky break!
