The Windows Live Hotmail Connector!

The Windows Live Hotmail Connector was a software component developed by Microsoft that allowed users to connect their Windows Live Hotmail accounts to Microsoft Office applications, such as Outlook, Word, and Excel. It was designed to enable seamless integration between Hotmail and Microsoft Office, allowing users to access their Hotmail email, contacts, and calendar information directly within Office applications.

The connector was first released in 2007 and was compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It was available as a free download from the Microsoft website.

Some of the key features of the Windows Live Hotmail Connector included:

  1. Email integration: Users could access their Hotmail email accounts directly within Outlook, allowing them to read, compose, and manage their emails using the familiar Outlook interface.
  2. Contact synchronization: The connector allowed users to synchronize their Hotmail contacts with their Outlook contacts, ensuring that their contact lists were up-to-date and consistent across both platforms.
  3. Calendar integration: Users could access their Hotmail calendar events directly within Outlook, allowing them to schedule meetings and appointments with ease.
  4. Task synchronization: The connector enabled users to synchronize their Hotmail tasks with their Outlook tasks, allowing them to manage their to-do lists across both platforms.

The Windows Live Hotmail Connector was discontinued in 2013, and Microsoft no longer supports it. However, users can still access their Hotmail accounts using the Outlook.com web interface or the Outlook desktop application, which offers similar features and functionality.

It's worth noting that the Windows Live Hotmail Connector was replaced by the Outlook.com connector, which offers similar features and functionality. The Outlook.com connector is compatible with Windows 10 and later versions of Windows, and it allows users to connect their Outlook.com accounts to Microsoft Office applications, such as Outlook and Word.
