make outlook 2000 users able to use new office live email to work with outlook 2000. not including older versions in the new projects is virtualy telling everyone who uses 2000 they are not wanted and should buy there products from anyone else except microsoft.
yes even the free version of office live should be able to work with outlook 2000.
whats the matter microsoft not rich enough yet?
Hi Fyretek,
Are you referring to the Outlook Connector? You want to read your Office Live email within Outlook 2000 using the Outlook Connector?
I think you can still read your Office Live email with Outlook 2K by trying this workaround:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/234704
NOTE: The technique outlined in the steps below can be used to view messages from any Web-based e-mail provider, including Yahoo, Lycos, Excite and others.
| 1. | On the View menu, click Folder List to turn on the Folder List. |
| 2. | Right-click Outlook Today, and then click New Folder. Name the folder Hotmail and then click OK. Your Folder List should now include a Hotmail mail items folder. |
| 1. | In the Folder List, right-click the Hotmail folder, and then click Properties. |
| 2. | On the Home Page tab, type http://www.hotmail.com in the Address box. |
| 3. | Click to select Show home page by default for this folder, and then click OK. Now when you click the Hotmail folder in your folder list, you will see the option to log on to your account. You can add a Hotmail folder shortcut to your Outlook Bar by dragging the Hotmail folder to the Outlook Bar. |
I hope that helps,
Tara
well that is a work around, not exactly what i was looking for. Bringing the web site directly to your outlook preview pane is ok i guess, I did however encounter a script error when viewing the inbox, but closing the folder list and moving the folder itself to outlook shortcuts seems to fix that until you try to "check mail" then the script error returns. it's comes and goes guess the server time out may have something to do with that not sure. only other down side is not being able to view emails offline or "send/recieve" with all other accounts.
Still the free account should work with 2k "normaly" not with a work around. but thanks for the response I will use the work around until something gives.
