I have Outlook 2003 and a paid Hotmail account. I would like to synch my
contacts, calendar, and email storage folders on both. Is that feasible?

I heard that there was supposed to be a new Outlook Connector beta? Is that
true?

Thanks.

You need the connector - it should work for you with the current connector
but if not, the new windows live desktop mail client that is in beta
includes a connector that does work. The beta is closed AFAIK, although they
may add new users every now and again - sign up at the windows live site.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Unfortunately, it does not work with the current connector. I even
subscribed to it earlier, and after a long correspondence, support agreed
that it did not offer true synching between outlook and hotmail plus, and I
canceled the subscription.

I went here http://get.live.com/betas/home but I don't see any "desktop"
beta. The windows live mail beta appears to be a substitute for outlook
express.

If any other leads occur to you, or if you hear anything else, please let us
know.

Someday I'll be able to synch my outlook to hotmail (maybe...). :-)
