Office 2017 hotmail connector
The Office 2017 Hotmail Connector!
The Hotmail Connector was a feature in Microsoft Office 2017 that allowed users to connect their Hotmail accounts to Outlook and access their Hotmail emails, contacts, and calendar events directly within Outlook.
However, please note that the Hotmail Connector is no longer supported by Microsoft, and it's not compatible with newer versions of Office or Outlook.
Here's what you need to know:
Why is the Hotmail Connector no longer supported?
Microsoft retired the Hotmail brand in 2013 and replaced it with Outlook.com. As a result, the Hotmail Connector was no longer maintained or updated, and it's no longer compatible with newer versions of Office or Outlook.
What are the alternatives?
If you're looking to connect your Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail) account to Outlook, you can use the following alternatives:
- Outlook.com account: You can sign in to your Outlook.com account directly within Outlook, without the need for a connector. To do this, go to File > Add Account > Outlook.com, and enter your Outlook.com email address and password.
- Exchange Web Services (EWS) connector: If you have an Outlook.com account with a Microsoft account (e.g., @outlook.com, @live.com, or @hotmail.com), you can use the EWS connector to connect your account to Outlook. To do this, go to File > Add Account > Advanced > Exchange Web Services, and enter your Outlook.com email address and password.
Conclusion
While the Hotmail Connector is no longer supported, you can still connect your Outlook.com account to Outlook using the alternatives mentioned above. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
