Outlook Connector or POP3?
I've had Office 2007 since Feb 09 and I've used Outlook Connector to access
my Hotmail account. I now understand that Windows Live Hotmail can use POP3. Has anyone tried both methods of accessing Hotmail to see which performs better? Are there any pros/cons of using one over the other? If I use POP3, how does that affect access to my Windows Live Calendar? Much thanks, David |

Outlook Connector or POP3?
POP3 is a completely different mail protocol. It only allows you to download
email from the main folder. So there is no support for uploading changes, sent items or sync contacts and calendar items. Which one is better for you completely depends on your needs. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "dtgVA" wrote in message ...
