Default Do I need Outlook Connector if I ONLY want e-mail live.com e-mail?

I understand that Outlook Connector can be used to sync Contacts, Calendars,
Tasks and E-mails, etc. between Outlook and Office Live/Hotmail. However, if
all I want to do is access Office Live E-mail accounts from Outlook, can I do
this by adding the accounts directly in Outlook as POP3 accounts and entering
the POP3/SMTP server names, logon info, etc. without having to install
Outlook Connector?

Yes, the Outlook Connector is not needed for POP3 connections to Live
Hotmail accounts.

Thanks for the info. The article that you linked to states, "The current
version of the Outlook Connector supports sending out via the address of your
Live Hotmail account only. If you have your own domain and have set aliases
for your Live Hotmail account, then you cannot choose to send out with this
alias instead but will always send out with your Live Hotmail address." Now,
I'll be using multiple domains set up via Offlice Live Small Business and I'd
like to get the e-mails from each separate domain into their own folders
within Outlook. Is this possible without using Outlook Connector? If not, and
I use Outlook Connector, then is it possible to send e-mails from Outlook
with the address of each domain as the sender?

Thanks

If these are separate mailboxes, then it wouldn't be an issue with the
Outlook Connector.
To separate it without the Outlook Connector see;
