Why can't I receive mail in Outlook 2002 from live.com?

[Tom Sharkey]

I have tried to link my live.com 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. Help!!!

It is unlikely that you will be able to use Outlook 2002 with the live.com
account. Most Hotmail Live accounts now require the Outlook Connector and
the Outlook Connector works with Outlook 2003/2007.
