Did you set the folders up in the main Outlook /OLSB email account or in a personal folder in Outlook 2007? The syncing only works with folders within an email account.

Just enter your Office Live email account details as if it was a Hotmail account and you should be able to set up and sync your email on any Windows Mobile 5 or 6 device - and no Outlook Connector needed.

If you are trying to use your prior email addresses alongside Office Live, I suggest you use mail forwarding. Although non OL domains can point at Office Live using the refs provided when you set up an account e.g. ns1.officelive.com and ns2.officelive.com I do not believe you can point your mail in...

Within each OL email account you set up you could set a mail forwarding option to go to a main account. You can access this option in Live Mail under Options and then More Options. Whether or not this idea is workable depends on how many email accounts like this you need and the cost / benefit of adding...

The problem you describe occurs if you set up a new email address in OL and then immediately go to set it up on Outlook using the password you created when set up in OL.

Hi Kimberly, If you select the Add an e-mail account option and type in your Office Live email address and then choose the HTTP option and leave all the other settings blank and hit Next, Live Mail should find the account and then download the current folders and you should be set to go!

Hi Chris, Not sure which version of Excel you are using but suggest you do a help search on "Parse". This will give you a few links for how to split the contents of a single cell across multiple columns in Excel using either CSV, tabbed or space separated entries. The Office Accounting 2008...

Hi Kev, It looks like you've tried to sign up with an email address which is no longer valid or looked to your prior ISP. You can try Office Live and your ISP support and struggle to get the transfer effected or - and my suggestion - set up a new Office Live account. First set a Hotmail account with...

Hi David, I use Outlook 2007 to sync with my Office Live accounts and have done for some time with no problems. I did have the issue you are describing, however, when I tried to sync a free Hotmail account with Outlook a while back so I'm guessing that the new free service has not yet been cleared...

Hi Nancy, I'd suggest you start afresh with a new Office Live account but when you register use another email address. When you are ready to use your own domain, select this option and complete the DNS server pointing process. If you need to set up a Office Live email account during this final activity...
