Outlook Connector reports "connecting" but does not connect

If you do not want to stop PGP services completely, following thread may be
useful

http://forum.pgp.com/pgp/board/messa...essage.id=1878

It explains registry settings to disable PGP MAPI DLL registration.

My problem is that intially the connector worked fine for two days, Now I am
getting a response that 'the operaion cannot be performed because the
connection to the server is offline. Funnily enough, the menu shows it is
online.

Two days ago, outlook connector worked fine for the past 6 months with my *.msn.com email (i.e. hotmail / windows live).

Yesterday, it stopped working (i.e. would not download nor upload any new emails)

Deleted account, reloaded outlook connector (v4) to no avail. Turned off Firewall, still no connect.

Status shows:

HOAGY
I thought that i was the only one having this preblem. It must be global.
How much is microsoft paying to the person that figures it out.

So I am not the only one with the problem? I hope the guys from Microsoft can
assist because I have tried everything to no avail.

Is there a specific reason for their silence in this regard? It almost two
days the problem has been posted. Are they going to assist their customers?

Well I have had the exact same problem and I cannot explain the problems it's caused as I was designing formemail and spent 2 days scratching my head and rewriting the code!

I have no fix for this - I bet you this problem is much more widespread than we think!

I don't think there is any point in uninstall/reinstall (although I have now done this twice). The fault is clearly on the outlook connector server.

I'll just have to go back to checking my hotmail again! drat!

Was this ever resolved? I'm having the same problem but haven't seen anyone
else posting in 2010

I would say you need to update the connector - I did - it all works - AND the calendar connects - I have a free level hotmail account....
