Microsoft Office Outlook Connector

[KA Kueh]

Dear all,

Does anyone one know what is the firewall port that needs to be opened when
using Microsoft Office Outlook Connector. I have problem where the
connector can signin but has the following error and it does not load the
inbox but the contacts info are pulled in.

Outlook Connector Version 12.0.4518.1063

Account: (e-mail address removed)

Signed in successfully at 9/28/2007 10:55:13 AM

Mail: Last successfully refreshed at 10:55 AM.
Calendar: Error at 10:55 AM.
Contacts: Last successfully refreshed at 10:55 AM.

Errors :

Time: 9/28/2007 10:55:14 AM
Error in Mail
Network operation failed


Time: 9/28/2007 10:55:14 AM
Error in Calendar
Failed to get user preferences

You are not alone. Since Outlook Connector was upgraded a couple of days
ago lots of us are unable to sign in correctly and have the same errors. I
use McAfee Personal Firewall and tried unblocking various combinations of
ports with no result. I think the port issue may be a red herring as
unblocking ports only seems to apply to incoming events and I am not sure of
the relevance to synchronising with hotmail.
