The Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector is a software component that allows you to connect your Hotmail account to Microsoft Outlook. Here are the steps to download and install the connector:
Note: The Outlook Hotmail Connector is no longer supported by Microsoft, and it's recommended to use the built-in Outlook.com account setup process instead.
Download the Outlook Hotmail Connector:
