Outlook 2002 and Hotmail

[Guest]

I have tried to link my hotmail account to outlook 2002 and I keep getting
and "unknown error" when I use the send/receive button. It says the send was
successful but the receive failed. I have checked everything many times and
I still can't get it to work. I need help ASAP

Are you using a paid Hotmail account? If not, you can't link it to Outlook.
If you were using Outlook 2003 or 2007 you could download the free Outlook
Connector (beta) for this, but it won't work on Outlook 2002.

I have been running Outlook 2002 from the Office XP suite for 5 years with
Outlook Connector to sync up with my MSN accounts. After a few windows
updates it worked intermittantly and then stopped working. I went looking for
the Outlook Connector that I always downloaded and only found the one for
Outlook 2003 and 2007. I tried it and the install went fine except that it
will not download email. I uninstalled the Connector and now cannot open the
MSN email accounts at all.

Is there somewhere to find a copy of the Outlook Connector that worked fine
with Outlook 2002?

Do you happen to have an Outlook account set up as your primary account in
the mail profile you're using for Hotmail/MSN also? I found this article
which suggests you'd have to make your MSN account primary, or else create
separate profiles for your MSN accounts and your Outlook accounts...

Failing that, you might want to ask MSN support if they know why the
connector no longer seems to work with Outlook 2002. Everything I've read
indicates that now that the Connector is out of beta, both paid and free
Hotmail/Windows Live Mail/MSN premium mail accounts should work with the
Connector with Outlook 2002 and later.
