My Outlook 2003 is running under W7 Home Premium: perhaps there is an 

incompatibity there.  The old Outlook Connector was on the system when it 

was upgraded to W7, but as I never knew what to do with it, the button was 

not tested.  If I can configure WLM to do what I want I will put Outlook in 

the loft (just in case!).  I still have some problems setting up my email 

accounts using Hotmail, but I have raised another query on that matter. 

Thank you for all your help.

Thanks, a quick test yielded a successful install on XPSp3/OL03.

Not sure why it wouldn't (install) on your system, but glad to hear you 

managed to overcome the hurdle.

Fyi...while WLM provides access to the same Live ID calendar, not all web UI 

features (for that Live ID calendar) are present in

WLM (when signed on with the same Live ID to Live services in WLM) and 

nowhere near the amount of OL's calendar features are

available in either WLM or the web UI (calendar.live.com).

Apparently version 14.0.

Which version of the Outlook Connector have you installed ?

Have you a link for the version you downloaded ?

I would if I could.  Having recently removed the Outlook Connector, I cannot

seem to re-install.  I have downloaded the software, which appeared to

install with no problems, but no "Outlook Connector" tab appears on my

Outlook!  Tried uninstalling and re-installing to same effect.

I have added my normal email address to Hotmail and can now successfully

interact with WLM (which I now understand is the current name for WLH), and

have imported my contacts from Outlook and cleaned up the results.  Now all

I need to be able to do is 'import' my calendar and then I presume I no

longer need Outlook 2003.  From your original response it would seem that I

really do need the Outlook Connector.  Any ideas?

Fyi...you must use the same Hotmail account Live ID to sign on to Windows

Live services in Windows Live Mail that was setup as the

email account in the the Outlook Connector (in Outlook)

- if not, then nothing will sync down from the web server (i.e. sync only

occurs for the signed on Live ID to/from the web server)

- if desired, you can copy messages to the Hotmail account folders in

Outlook (with the Connector) then sync those messages up to

the server, setup the same Hotmail account using http in WLM then allow

those messages on the server to sync down. Caution...if a

large volume of messages, it may take time to sync up and down since both

locations need to update all databases and indexes and

its important to not interrupt the process (which may corrupt data).

Many thanks.  I had Outlook Connector on my 2003 but recently removed it

because I could not figure out what to do with it!

Your message also prompts me to ask for illumination - what is the

difference between Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail?

I am confused!!

I don't believe that there is any option to import calendar data from

anywhere

into Windoows Live Mail.

A woorkaround, assuming that you have Outlook 2003 installed, is to download

and

install the Outlook Connector -

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/microsoft-office-outlook-hotmail-connector-overview-HA010222518.aspx

Set it up to sync with your Hotmail account. Your Calendar is now in Outlook

along with the main calendar for Outlook. You can then drag/drop

appointments

from the main calendar to the Hotmail Calendar in Outlook and these will

sync to

the server. Windows Live Mail will then sync these back down.
