I started out using WLM Beta over a year ago and was having a lot o
problems with it. It still has all my emails from up to a year ago.
seem to remember having a problem downloading my emails with it and
got frustrated and I switched to Outlook 2003. I've been recentl
having problems with Outlook 2003 the past week. I'm also using Outloo
Connector. For some reason it's only downloading a few of my email
everyday from the server. Somedays it only downloads a couple of the
and sometimes maybe 25 or so when I get about 85 emails per day.
don't know that the problem is. It seemed to be a problem wit
Hotmail's servers because I had the same problem wtih my phone, but no
my phone seems to be fine, but Outlook Connector doesn't seem to b
reliable anymore. I went back to WLM and updated it to the lates
version, but it's just not downloading my emails using the Pop3 settin
and I have a Hotmail Plus account. I guess it's trying to download
years worth of emails and it's just crashing with an error message.
wanted to import my emails from Outlook to WLM, but WLM mail isn'
giving me an option to import from Outlook. Does anyone have any idea
on either how to fix Outlook so it will download all my emails, or ho
to get my emails into WLM? Thank you for your help and time

Why are you using pop3 settings?
Don't you want http access so that your folders will sync?

Microsoft won't like my opinion, but if you want reliable email,
look elsewhere than Hotmail.

Correct,
WLM does not have the ability to import mail from Outlook 2003 or 2007.
Nor does either version of Outlook(03/07) have the ability to export messages from the pst file to WLM.

If this is a Hotmail account, setup the account in WLM as an http account
