Outlook 2014 hotmail connector

The Outlook 2014 Hotmail Connector!

The Hotmail Connector was a feature in Outlook 2014 that allowed users to connect their Hotmail accounts to Outlook and access their Hotmail emails, contacts, and calendar events directly within Outlook.

Here are some key features of the Hotmail Connector:

  1. Email integration: The Hotmail Connector allowed users to access their Hotmail emails, including inbox, sent items, and deleted items, directly within Outlook.
  2. Contact synchronization: The connector synced Hotmail contacts with Outlook contacts, ensuring that both accounts were up-to-date and in sync.
  3. Calendar integration: The Hotmail Connector allowed users to access their Hotmail calendar events, including appointments, meetings, and reminders, directly within Outlook.
  4. Task synchronization: The connector synced Hotmail tasks with Outlook tasks, enabling users to manage their tasks across both accounts.

To set up the Hotmail Connector in Outlook 2014, follow these steps:

  1. Open Outlook 2014 and go to the "File" menu.
  2. Click on "Add Account" and select "Manual setup or additional server types".
  3. Choose "Internet Email" and click "Next".
  4. Enter your Hotmail email address and password, and click "Next".
  5. Select "Hotmail" as the server type and enter the following settings:
    • Server: outlook.office365.com
    • Port: 993 (for SSL) or 587 (for TLS)
    • Username: your Hotmail email address
    • Password: your Hotmail password
  6. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the setup process.

Note that the Hotmail Connector is no longer supported by Microsoft, and it's recommended to use the Outlook.com connector instead. The Outlook.com connector provides a more seamless and secure experience, and it's compatible with Outlook 2014 and later versions.

If you're still using the Hotmail Connector, it's recommended to upgrade to the Outlook.com connector to take advantage of the latest features and security updates.
