Microsoft’s Outlook Hotmail Connector Gets an Update
For those of you using Outlook and the handy Outlook Hotmail Connector you might want to head to the Microsoft Download Center and grab yourself a copy of the update package 
for it.
For those of you not familiar with the Outlook Hotmail Connector it is a handy plugin for Microsoft’s Outlook that allows you to connect to your Windows Live Hotmail email account so you can handle everything from in Outlook.
The version number for the updated Hotmail Connector is 14.0.5139.5001.
Here is what has been updated from the Outlook Hotmail Connector page:
- Several send/receive issues are fixed.
- The Outlook junk email filter within Outlook is turned off for Hotmail accounts (this was erroneously flagging good mail as junk). Junk messages are now detected at the Hotmail mail server. Any entries you made in Outlook for the junk email filters (Safe Senders, Blocked Senders, and Safe Recipients) continue to work correctly and synchronize between Outlook and the Hotmail mail server.
- Fixes for hangs and crashes experienced when sending meetings using the Hotmail Connector and when adding a new Hotmail account to an existing profile.
- Fix for an issue where Windows Live contacts’ birthdays and anniversaries shifted by one day when synchronized with Outlook.
- Fix for an issue that blocked synchronization of the Category property in an Outlook contact with Windows Live.
