Outlook Connector 12.1 and notes, where do they go?

I'm running Outlook 2003 with Connector 12.1 fairly successfully. In the
Notes tab of Outlook I can select notes at my live account, indicated by my
Live! hotmail address (as with calendars, Tasks, Contacts etc.). The notes
obviously go somewhere and are viewable and editable through Outlook but I
can't find them anywhere on my Windows Live! page. Can someone tell me where
I should be looking?

I don't use the notes function in my Hotmail account but as I recall
they are on the Calendar web page. Did you check there?

Unfortunately Outlook Notes don't appear on the calendar page in Live! and
the list of 'Related Links' only gives Inbox and Contact List. Outlook Tasks
also appear to vanish into the ether when used on Live!.

Maybe things will get updated in time.

Hmm. I logged onto my Live Hotmail account. Clicked on the More button
and clicked on Calendar. The Calendar that I get now looks like what
used to be their Beta version (and which I deliberately chose NOT to
use). I went into Options and clicked on the "Switch to your original
calendar" link. Ah, now with the non-beta version of Calender there is
the Notes section at the bottom left of the page.

Instead of using the More button at the top of the Live Hotmail web page
to select Calendar, I then tried using the Calendar link (left pane). I
get a page asking if I want to use my original (non-beta) calendar or
switch to the new Live Calendar (which apparently isn't in beta status
anymore). I can choose here, too, to use my original calendar. That
one has the Notes section. The original, or classic, version of
Calendar also has the Reminders section that the now-out-of-beta Live
Calendar does not.
