OUtlook 2007 configuration issue

[Charles Alz]

Had been connected until today (lost connection?) to MSN via my Outlook 2007.
Now following Microsoft's own step by step (referred to as Method 1) in
support webpage, I can't get it to work. Was able to get my second email
address via ATT to work. Any suggestions/
Desperate, I use this for work from home.

Are you using the Outlook Connector to connect to your Live Hotmail account?
If not, you can download it here;

I was told today by the MSN help line that MSN dropped support for Outlook
yesterday. I understand the MSN help line is inundated with help calls.

That is why OUTLOOK can no longer connect. I would like to see everyone
complain about this problem, until they say uncle.

CAN SOMEONE FROM the OUTLOOK team look into this problem and put some
politcal pressure on MSN?

 

[Charles Alz]

They will support but at $49/ hr. Major rip off!

Hotmail access “Forbiddenâ€

As of September 1st, the old way of making a connection to Hotmail (via a
protocol called WebDAV) has been discontinued. This means that as of now,
when you are trying to connect to Hotmail via the build-in HTTP method in
Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007, you’ll get the following error;

Task 'Hotmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error
(0x800CCC33) : 'Access to the account was denied. Verify that your username
and password are correct.The server responded 'Forbidden'.

(the actual reported error code may be different for you)

The only supported way of connecting to your Live Hotmail or MSN account is
via the Outlook Connector or POP3.

The Outlook Connector is the recommended method and can be downloaded here.
The Outlook Connector is supported for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. If you
are running an earlier version of Outlook, you can still connect to your
Hotmail account via POP3. The settings can be found here.

Keep in mind that POP3 is download only and it only supports downloading
mail from your Inbox folder (sending mail remains possible as well of
course).
If you need full mailbox or contact and calendar syncing support and
updating to a later version of Outlook is not an option to you, you can still
access your Live Hotmail mailbox via Windows Live Mail (free).
Using Outlook Express included in Windows XP or Windows Mail included in
Windows Vista is not an option as they only support the WebDAV connection
method to Hotmail servers.

You know! This is a bunch of political mumbo jumbo. Did they send
notices to anyone to ensure every person using this system was aware
it was going to stop? It took me days of searching until I found this
issue resolution, and of course, the new outlook connector did not
work for my computer either.

They sure did. Multiple times, too.
