Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector (formerly named Microsoft Office Outlook Connector) is a free add-in for Microsoft Outlook that allows users to access Windows Live Hotmail or Office Live Mail accounts through Microsoft Outlook.
With this add-in, one can access e-mail messages and contacts in any Hotmail account for free. In version 12, access to tasks and notes and online synchronization with MSN Calendar is only available to MSN subscribers of paid premium accounts.
Version 12.1 was released in December 2008 as an optional upgrade. Version 12.1 uses Windows Live Calendar instead of the former MSN Calendar. This also meant that calendar features became free for all users. In April 2008, version 12.1 became a required upgrade to continue using the service as part of a migration from MSN Calendar to Windows Live Calendar. [1]
Outlook Connector works with only Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 in Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Outlook Connector uses DeltaSync, a proprietary Microsoft communications protocol.
