Outlook connector was working

Until last week(6/23/2008)week, I was able to connect to my primary
hotmail account through Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector. Now I cannot
send or receive email with that hotmail account through Outlook 2007 with
Outlook Connector. A second hotmail account works fine sending and receiving
email through the connector and Outlook 2007. Browser access to the primary
email account is fine. No apparent errors in Outlook send/receive log now.
There were errors last week about not being able to connect to the account,
but they are no longer there.

Hi:
Mine has stopped working suddenly too. I tried to remove my hotmail account
from the Outlook 2007 and recreate the same again. However it does not work.

I'm having the same problem, and it just started today. I have 2 msn
accounts, and it's not finding any of my new mail for either.

Mine quit on 7/22/08. The Status shows "connecting" continuously. I tried
to start a chat support session, but the MS support system keeps telling me
the Product ID is not valid. It is, I promise you, the Product ID shown in
the About Outlook Connector window.

I have the same problem too.

I still can send, but no new email is received in outlook. Any solution?

Here too, everything stopped on Tuesday.... Product ID is valid and will not
let me start chat session

Exactly the same situation, right down to the server status giving a
continuous "connecting". Rebooted several times but still no joy. I also
attempted to start a chat session but the PID was not accepted.
Is there a place I can go that will provide a server status I can trust?

Thanks.

I had same problem. There is a new version of Outlook Connector that you
need to download. I believe the date is 7/23/2008. Everything worked fine
after I installed the new update. This has happened before and there does
not seem to be an automatic update for connector....you just have to keep
looking for new updates. Hope this helps..
