Microsoft Outlook Connector serves as a bridge between Windows Live Hotmail (now Outlook.com) and Microsoft Outlook, allowing users to manage their email messages, calendar, and contacts from within Outlook’s more user-friendly interface. While it requires a subscription fee for calendar, tasks, and notes management, Outlook Connector offers better spam filtering and integration with other Microsoft applications.
Key Features:
- Access Hotmail in Outlook: Use Outlook’s UI to handle Hotmail messages, contacts, and calendar.
- Spam Filtering: Leverage Outlook’s robust spam filtering to keep your inbox safe.
- Calendar and Contact Management: Sync your calendar events, contacts, and tasks, making it easier to schedule and organize.
- Synchronization: Outlook Connector keeps your Hotmail draftsfolder in sync with Outlook’s Drafts folder.
- Junk Filter Sync: Your safe senders, blocked senders, and safe recipient lists are synchronized between Outlook and Hotmail.
- Send/Receive Integration: Works seamlessly with your other Outlook accounts for a unified experience.
- Connection Status Integration: Know the status of your Hotmail account right from the Outlook status bar.
- Rule Support for Secondary Accounts: Apply rules to the Hotmail account in Outlook, even if it’s not your primary Outlook account.
- PowerShell Functionality: Connect to MS Outlook sessions via simple command-line functions, enabling message scripting and exporting
