Task 'Hotmail: Folder Inbox Synchronizing headers ' reported error

[Guest]

Wanted to use Outlook 2002 to access my hotmail,

So I added an email account in outlook 2002, chose 'http mail', selected
hotmail.

When I clicked send/receive, I see this message:

Task 'Hotmail: Folder Inbox Synchronizing headers ' reported error 0x800CCCF4

I clicked 'detect and repair' outlook a few times but to no avail.

I went to internet options in explorer and added www.hotmail.com as 'Allow'
under the privacy settings as well. No avail too.

Anyone can help?

Access to Hotmail through e-mail software such as Outlook or Outlook Express
now involves a monthly subscription. Hotmail can still of course be read
through the WebMail interface at www.HotMail.Com

Thanks In Advance

This is really confusing, i have 2 hotmail account , i can access the first
one without any problems, but the second one which i created couple of days
back could not be accessed from outlook, get same error "Task 'Hotmail:
Folder Inbox Synchronizing headers ' reported error 0x800CCCF4 "

That's due to the fact that any NEW accounts that have been set up recently
need to be upgraded to a paid subscription but many older accounts still
have not had external access (via an e-mail client) shut off yet. Microsoft
is slowly transitioning all accounts over.

When and how is Hotmail communicating this chage to users. I too now have
this problem.

The reason I use outlook to access hotmail account is to take backup of my
hotmail emails.

David – is there any way to backup hotmail emails without using outlook

Generally it will be in the text of the error that you get when you try to
either Synch' folders or when you try to access Hotmail through Outlook.
Here is Microsoft's Knowledge Base article:

Myself I am not a Hotmail user so I don't know if there is an EXPORT
facility on the website at www.Hotmail.com. When I get off duty this
evening I will take a look and report back.

Hi Stanley,
have you already read this?

OK, I now have TWO PAID hotmail (upgraded from older accounts) and one or the
other still has the following problem.

Task 'mymailacct: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.' reported error
(0x800CCCF4) : 'An unknown error has occurred. Please save any existing work
and restart the program.'

restarting maybe 10 times sometimes makes it work for a short period.

One thing I found out only through searching the Knowedge Base and then
sending e-mail to Microsoft is that access to Hotmail through Outlook Express
has never been a truly supported feature. The access you get if you pay to
upgrade your account includes the ability to gain POP3 access to your e-mail,
which is the approach that both Outlook and Outlook Express provide the
strongest support for.
