Thanks. I will try removing and restoring the account.
You wrote: "I have no clue what 'pending' in your WLM inbox means..with a
hotmail account, they are either there or not".
Wrong acronym on my part I guess, among other things. What I meant was that
I have read and unread emails in my Inbox at mail.live.com when I access it
with my browser. If I tell Outlook 2007 to retrieve the messages to my local
machine using Outlook Connector, I get a busy cursor as though it is
downloading the messages but the messages don't show up in my Outlook inbox
for the account. (I can send messages however.)
You asked what (a) and (b) are. This is from your message of 8/19/08:
With respect to Outlook Express:
- Outlook Express(OE) is only capable of downloading Hotmail when using http
if:
a. The account is grandfathered(in use in OE prior to fall 2004 and never
expired)
b. A subscription based account(Msn legacy, Msn Premium, a sub-account of
the former two, and a Hotmail Plus account)
\clip\
With repsect to Outlook 2003/2007(a Msft Office program):
- WLM is not required in order to setup a Hotmail account in http format in
Outlook.
- Outlook alone, like OE, is only capable of downloading Hotmail when using
http if (a) and (b) are true
- If (a, b) don't apply then Outlook **requires** use of the free Outlook
Connector plugin to download Hotmail
- there are two versions of the Outlook Connector(a release to the web
production version and a recent beta..the latter[beta] due
to recent changes to support Windows Live Calendar integration for
subscription accounts appears to be more stable on free accounts
too.)..ie.. if considering OLC, use the beta version and avoid some grief.

You can try to remove the account from Outlook Connector, remove account from WLM(copy any important messages to the Storage Folder.
or an folder in Windows Explorer. Logon to mail.live.com, ensure the account is accessible via the Hotmail interface..
Once verified, reinstall the Connector verify functionality. Add the account in WLM.
I have no clue what 'pending' in your WLM inbox means..with a hotmail account, they are either there or not and you'll have to
refresh us on what (a) and (b) were..that message is no longer available when viewing in WLM. Provide that info from your archive or Google it..

New user, same symptoms as described at top of thread (quoted below).
(a) is true, (b) is not true. Outlook 2007 (Microsoft Office Outlook) and
Vista.
I formerly used the Outlook Connector without incident. I noticed a few
days ago, via a pop-up notice from Windows Messenger, that I had 10-12 unread
messages in my Hotmail account at WLM but which weren't, and aren't, being
downloaded to Outlook. I then noticed for the first time that the Outlook
Connector seemingly was no longer installed on my Outlook.
I reinstalled the Outlook Connector (v. 12.0.6407.1000). Now: (1) I can
send messages from Outlook using my Hotmail address using the Outlook
Connector, (2) I cannot download pending messages from my Hotmail account at
WLM, and (3) in Outlook, when I do a Send/Receive with the Show Progress
window displayed, Outlook shows a progress bar for user@xxxxxxxxxxx as though
it's downloading mail but the messages sitting in my hotmail account at WLM
account are not in my Outlook user@xxxxxxxxxxx inbox (or anywhere else that
I can determine).
Properties for user@xxxxxxxxxxx in my Outlook mail folder view shows Type:
Folder Containing Mail and Post items. Location: Microsoft Office Outlook.
Clicking Advanced Properties brings up a Microsoft Office Outlook Connector
dialog, "Set up Outlook Connector to automatically synchronize your Web-based
accounts in Outlook," and a prompt for email address and password.
I'm stymied as to what I need to change to download my incoming messages for
the hotmail address, messages that I can see pending in my WLM inbox.

Hey, I just downloaded the Windows live Mail because it was required in order
to have a hotmail account for Outlook. I really just want to use Outlook.
But now that I've done this I'm not receiving any emails sent to my Outlook,
but I am in Window's live. I can send mail via outlook but not receive any
in my Outlook inbox. What should I do to fix this?
