Final Microsoft Office Outlook Connector Now Available


Today, the Microsoft Office Outlook Team has made the new version of the Microsoft Outlook Connector Beta available for download. That means no more "beta".

Download: Microsoft Office Outlook Connector

With all the responses on my post announcing the beta a few months ago, I figured this announcement will be of interest. The final build number is 12.0.4518.1058. If you don't see that build number in the About window for the Outlook Connector, then you're not yet running the final version.

The Microsoft Office Outlook Connector lets you sync your Windows Live Hotmail account up with Outlook 2003 and 2007. Remember, in order to sync your Calendar you need to be a paid subscriber of MSN Premium, Office Live Essentials, or Office Live Premium to get that added functionality with this release. If you are not a paid subscriber of these services, you will see an error in syncing your calendar in Outlook but you will be about to sync up you email messages and contacts just fine.

Be sure to visit the Microsoft Office Outlook Team Blog and give them your feedback on the Outlook Connector.

Drazick, I would post and keep posting on the Outlook Team blog and make sure your build number for the Outlook Connector matches the screenshot I posted above.

ForeverDestiny, I don't have any info for you unfortunately - sorry.

I'm using the newest version of Outlook Connect and it seems to work much better for me.

I am now able to search the internet, receive RSS feeds, read PDF files, send and receive

e-mails all from Outlook and/or Business Contact Manager and I will be learning more about how to use it.

Except that this build crashes my Outlook 2007 on start, while the beta was flawless.

Now I can't read my Live Mail in Outlook anymore. Broken...

Hmmm. Cancel that! The Outlook Connector is working fine. It was another Outlook add-in causing the problem.

I'm running the Outlook Connector v12.0.4518.1058, with Outlook 2007 on Vista.  The problem is, it doesn't sync email older than around 120 days+

On my WinXP, O2K3 with Connector v1.8.3501.0.  All is working, and confirmed by checking the folders on mail.live.com.

Any idea's?

I have the version 12.0.4518.1058 of outlook connector installed in my Vista Machine. However, I can't get it to work. The sign in always fails. It suggests to restart outlook or try to repair outlook connector, but neither worked.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Thanks,

Sam

smoreira, I have not seen this problem. You might want to head on over to the Outlook blog and let them know of your problem:

Brandon,

Thanks for your reply. Just as a feedback for anyone having the same problem, the solution was basically giving permission to Outlook to access the Internet via the firewall.

Even though I installed the Outlook Connector using the admin user, I was trying to connect to my hotmail for the first time under my daily account, which is basically a standard account. Under the standard account, I was receiving the login failure error from the connector. However, as soon as I connected to my hotmail account logged in as the admin user, I received the firewall message inquiring about giving permission to Outlook to access the Internet. And, after giving permission to Outlook, the outlook connector began working on all my standard accounts without the need to do anything else.

Hope this helps,

Thanks again,

Sam Moreira

I'm now using Outlook Connector version 12.0.4518.1063 that was released today (09/11/2007) along with Outlook 2007. I was having trouble today getting the sync to complete, so I upgraded to the new version.

I have a Hotmail Plus account and I noticed that as of today I now have 10 GB of space available. But in the Outlook Connector it reports that I have 5GB of space.  Could it be that the descripency has something to do with the problem?

My wife has a free hotmail account that only has 5 GB of space and her sync is working just fine.

Outlook Connector it´s absolutely useless.

May be it works for "toy" occounts. I tried to migrate a MailBox with thousands of mails 8K+, and ot never got synchonized between the web inteface and Outlook. Besides thay, it happens all the time, that some mails can be seen in the web interface, but not in Outlook. Hey there!. People that make this!. Why are you making us loose our time?????.

Antonio.
