I have been having a lot of trouble with Outlook 2007, first a 4102 error then this 5102 error (see below). There isn't good synchronization between Outlook 2007 and my HoTMaiL Plus account. I tried reinstalling the connector then exporting, deleting, adding, and importing my HoTMaiL messages. Time: 11/1/2007 7:07:30 AM

Error in Mail

There is an error synchronizing your mail account. Please verify your account has been configured correctly by first accessing your mail on the web.

Hello. Some of you have received the following error, Error: 4102. Client. Cannot change immutable data: MessageClass. This is a known issue and we are working on a fix. In the mean time, to avoid this issue, do not make client-side changes to items (marking items as read/unread, adding categories, flagging items, etc.). If you are in this situation, you can either wait for a fix or backup your data to PST by using Outlook's Import/Export wizard, remove your account from Outlook and re-add it back to Outlook. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have a fix rolled out as soon as possible. Jared Brown [MSFT]

Skipper, your best bet is to create a rule which copies the mail you receive from your Hotmail account into the inbox ClearContext looks at. You want to copy, not move, or your mail will be removed from Hotmail as well. Jared Brown [MSFT]

I have just downloaded newest version of Outlook Connector (12.0.4518.1063) to add my new hotmail-account to my outlook email accounts. The problem is, that my other e-mail accounts (GMail connected via POP3) is all downloaded to a local pst-file, but my hotmail account is downloaded to a specific hotmail,pst file. I cannot change the file which it download to using the Tools/Account Settings in Outlook. I am running Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 with Business Contact Manager. Anyone knows how change this? I want all mails downladed into the same inbox as I use ClearContext to handle all my e-mails incl. follow ups etc. Thanks in advance

For those receiving "Error in Calendar" messages, I also had this problem and, somehow, was eventually presented with a dialog box that stated "Appointments that you add to this calendar are not synchronized with MSN Calendar. MSN Calendar synchronization is a subscription only service." Personally, I couldn't find anywhere that corroborate this message, since Calendar sync isn't even mentioned as a feature for MSN Premium.

is there any way to sync the calendar with my hotmail plus? as seen on many many official hotmail websites, the calendar sync with outlook connector should work if you have hotmail plus! (get.live.com/.../features) actually, my outlook connector telling me that i dont have a valid subscription to sync the calendar :(

Martyn, you likely are missing your first name or your last name in your Windows Live ID account profile. Here are instructions... Sign into Windows Live Hotmail via the web at http://mail.live.com and click the dropdown at the top right (there should be your LiveID and a little down arrow). Then click “View your account”. Then click “Registered Information” (it’s a link near the top). Make sure your first and last name are entered and save your changes. The connector should then start syncing for you.

I have downloaded outlook connector version 12.0.4518.1063 and I am trying to use it with Outlook 2003. When I loaded it the Mail folders all synchronised correctly however the inbox will not update with new mail. I can send mail from outlook but not receive. This is the case when I also press the send receive button. I have a Windows Live Hotmail account. I do not pay a subscription. The connection status shows connecting and the deatiled report says: Outlook Connector Version 12.0.4518.1063 Account: xxxxxx@hotmail.com Signed in successfully at 08/10/2007 20:15:21 Mail: Calendar: Contacts: Errors : Time: 08/10/2007 20:15:25

Error in Calendar

Information is missing from your Microsoft Passport Network profile. In Calendar, click Options, and then update your personal profile.

To clarify my previous post, when the Outlook Connector prompts me for my password it says at the bottom of the box: "Sign-in failed. Too many unsuccessful sign-in attempts have been made using an incorrect password. Your account is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." That's when I go to the hotmail live web page and sign in with no problem using the same password. Once I do that, I can then sign in with no problem using the connector (same password). What is causing this? I'm sure that no one is trying to sign in with a bad password otherwise the web sign-in page would tell me the same thing and prompt me to reset my password. Every 2 or 3 days I have this issue. Please help.
