Final Microsoft Office Outlook Connector Now Available

I had the "connecting" problem with the official 12.0.4518.1068 version of Connector, but when I downloaded the beta (12.1) it states that my inbox and contacts are connected, but it doesn't sync my inbox, and still fails on my calendar...

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? (P.S. I have Vista Ultimate, Office 2007 Enterprise, and a fully paid office live account)

I am looking into the issues as to why email is not syncing for some users. Will post when I have more information.

In the meantime, I just got done blogging about the brand new Microsoft Office Outlook Connector 12.1 Beta release with Windows Live Calendar sync. Check out my post here but rememeber it is a Beta (not a final release):

Hi,

It seems like a bunch of us are having the same problem!

I've been using MS Office 2007 (outlook) with outlook connector (12.0.4518.1068) for the past 6 months without any issues.

However, all of a sudden as of last week my mail stopped synchronizing. When i check the server status, all fields indicate "Connecting" and has not changed (despite re-booting the computer, repairing OC, and uninstalling then re-installing OC).

The following is the detailed report:

Outlook Connector Version 12.0.4518.1068

Account: -------@live.com

Signed in successfully at 24/7/2008 02:26:49

Mail:

Calendar:

Contacts:

I have searched the web for solutions, but few people seem to have the same problem. Nothing in my setup has changed since it worked fine. Any suggestions?

I got Outlook Connector Version 12.0.4518.1068.

It reports successful refresh of E-Mail, Calendar and Contacts, but it does not sync my calendar items. Even if I add new appointments, they will not be synced.

I subscribed to MSN premium just for this - does anyone know how to get it to work?

Thanks,

Sam

Hello.

I installed the Outlook Connector today (v.12.0.4518.1068) and it doesn't look working. I have outlook 2003 and when I open it and press F9 (for Send/Receice All), looks everything fine without any error (shows Send/Receive Complete in outlook progress). But it doesn't make any sychronize with my hotmail account. Then i am testing sending a mail to this account and it goes to web account and not to outlook. At the server status of the outlook connector, say:

Mail: Connecting

Calendar; Connecting

Contact: Connecting

What is wrong?

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?????.

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.

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

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:

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

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?
