Get Your Webmail in Your Outlook

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Jul 9th, 2007 @ 7:52 PM
Do you want to use Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 to check your Windows Live Mail (formerly known as Hotmail)?  You used to be able to configure HTTP through Outlook, but then need a paid subscription to do so. However, with the new Microsoft Office Outlook Connector Beta, you can now download, read, and compose Windows Live Mail emails for free.

If you do not have a paid subscription, the Outlook Connector Beta enables you to use your Live accounts within Outlook to read and send your Office Live Mail/Windows Live Hotmail e-mail messages, manage your Live Mail contacts, use advanced options for blocking junk email messages, and manage multiple email accounts in one place.

With a paid subscription, the Outlook Connector Beta also enables the ability to manage, share, and synchronize your Windows Live Calendar in Outlook and access your Tasks and Notes. The beta is available for download here.

My Hotmail or Windows Live Mail already works in Outlook 2003 without anything special.  So I guess I will just disreguard this post.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks, it's still very much a Beta. In my case it seems to keep forgetting what the password I just typed in was.

But it's a neat solution if you have to use Outlook, otherwise use Live Mail instead as it's hotmail syncing is much better at the moment.
