Until last week(6/23/2008)week, I was able to connect to my primary 
hotmail account through Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector.  Now I cannot 
send or receive email with that hotmail account through Outlook 2007 with 
Outlook Connector.  A second hotmail account works fine sending and receiving 
email through the connector and Outlook 2007.  Browser access to the primary 
email account is fine.  No apparent errors in Outlook send/receive log now.  
There were errors last week about not being able to connect to the account, 
but they are no longer there.

Hi:
Mine has stopped working suddenly too. I tried to remove my hotmail account 
from the Outlook 2007 and recreate the same again. However it does not work.

I'm having the same problem, and it just started today. I have 2 msn 
accounts, and it's not finding any of my new mail for either.

Mine quit on 7/22/08.  The Status shows "connecting" continuously.  I tried 
to start a chat support session, but the MS support system keeps telling me 
the Product ID is not valid.  It is, I promise you, the Product ID shown in 
the About Outlook Connector window.

I have the same problem too. 

I still can send, but no new email is received in outlook. Any solution?

Here too, everything stopped on Tuesday.... Product ID is valid and will not 
let me start chat session

Exactly the same situation, right down to the server status giving a 
continuous "connecting".  Rebooted several times but still no joy.  I also 
attempted to start a chat session but the PID was not accepted. 
Is there a place I can go that will provide a server status I can trust?

Thanks.

I had same problem.  There is a new version of Outlook Connector that you 
need to download.  I believe the date is 7/23/2008.  Everything worked fine 
after I installed the new update.  This has happened before and there does 
not seem to be an automatic update for connector....you just have to keep 
looking for new updates.  Hope this helps..

If you are a Premium MSN subscriber, and use the use Connector to sync with 
your MSN calendar, be very careful about updating to Outlook Connector 12.1.  
The new version only works with Windows Live calendar, and when we upgraded, 
it would not transfer the MSN calendar over, so we lost all our appointments 
(hundreds of them!).  

If we try to use the older 12.0 Connector, then the original problem comes 
back of not being able to get any new emails or calendar updates, and so we 
still lose all our calendar information locally (and are forced to only use 
it through the web site).

If the MSN team would just fix the original issue that started on 7/22, 
there may still be hope, but so far, it is still broken.

I got mine working (it would send and would not receive) by installing the 
Outlook Connector 12.1 (which at this time is still beta).

Yeah using the beta 12.1 got mine working as well. No problems to date but it 
has only been a day since I upgraded to this version. Would really like to 
know what this problem was because it was really irratating.

Have same problem email works fine now in Outlook, but calendar will not sync 
with Premium MSN calendar only Windows Live. Can't find any answers on how to 
solve problem. Am I missing something.
