Downloading hotmail w/out uploading contacts?
Am I correct - We now must install and use Outlook Connector when
downloading/checking hotmail email with Outlook? I tried that today and it seemed to work. However, it also took 20 minutes because it wanted to sync up all my outlook contacts and calendar and post them to the hotmail/live server. Is there anyway to use this new and improved outlook connector without providing microsoft with my calendar info and all my contacts? I just want to check the 'ole hotmail account - and NOT provide microsoft with all my personal information... |

You can use pop3 set-up. This downloads only your messages. Read this

Thanks Expert.
Leave it to Microsoft to fix something that isn't broken. Maybe it's time to move on from hotmail. "Expert" wrote: You can use pop3 set-up. This downloads only your messages.

Note that the Outlook Connector only syncs the Calendar and Contact
information that you have put into your Hotmail account on-line. Any new contacts or appointments that you put in those sync folders will then be of course synced back to the server. If you do not want this, simply place your contacts and appointment in a calendar that is outside your Live Hotmail folder set or indeed, as "Expert" said, use the POP3 connection instead. -- 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 ----- "J Walker" wrote in message ...
