Outlook + live.co.uk

[ollie]

Okay, I was lazy and wanted my new live.co.uk account to work on Outlook, so I just downloaded a plugin for outlook.

But is there anyway that you can just add it without the plugin, as the plug seems to add its own folder and it's annoying as I like having everything in the main folder:

If there isn't a way to do that, is it possible to merge the two folders together?


The plugin I'm using is called Outlook Connector.


Thanks!

Well the folders are determined by which data file it is setup under. I.e for the live account this plug in has created a new data file so all mail will go to this new folder. Try changing it over under account settings.

BTW is it Outlook 2003?

The only account settings I can change for the Live.co.uk account are:

And yep, Outlook 2003

Also, ages ago it used to come up with a box on the bottom right when I had received a new E-mail, a bit like an MSN pop up, had the name of the sender and the first sentence or so of the E-mail... How do I turn that back on?

See I have never used this plug in so its hard for me to comment. See normally you would just go into Email Account > View Change and you can see the date file bit at the bottom.

The 'Live' email can't go into the same folder as it is working like IMAP and the email is on the server and not local like your other email.

The pop up thing will only work for the none 'Live' email. To enable it do the following: Tools -> Options -> Email Options -> Advanced Email Options -> Display New Mail Desktop Alert

I've just uninstalled the plugin, and now trying to add the account manually, but I need to know the Server URL :dapprove:
