Outlook Connector uninstalled - Email gone!!

[Guest]

I am running outlook 2007 with an msn email account, and was continually and
annoyingly prompted to install connector. Without really knowing what
connector does (stupid me for not finding out first) I installed it, and then
waited forever while my email was downloaded to my hard drive. I instantly
regretted doing this, but continued using Connector for a few weeks. This
morning there was a popup prompting me to convert my email to hotmail. I did
not want to change my email address, so I simply uninstalled Connector via
the control panel. Now I can't get to my inbox.

Is there a way I can get my email back and continue to use Outlook 2007
WITHOUT connector, and WITHOUT being prompted to install connector?

Thanks

Is your email still in your Hotmail account on-line?

It appears to be but may be too early to tell. There are only a few messages
showing, and 'Your account is being updated' is showing just below what looks
to be a status bar, but it may just be a visual indicator of the amount of
mail I have (2000 mb). The bar doesn't seem to be moving much...

YES - the email is there online. I never use this feature so was a little
confused.
thanks

Then there is nothing really wrong. The Outlook Connector is merely an
account connection to enable you to connect to your Hotmail/Live/MSN mail.
Reconfigure your account with the connector and you should be fine.
