I've instaled Outlook Connector 12.1 to sync with my live account. The calendar is unable to sync. I've tried uninstalling Outlook Connect, removing my hotmail account and reinstalling. Everything else works well.

Calendar has never been able to sync.

I am also unable to connect to Office Online help...not sure if my company's firewall could be the issue.

As a low - medium pc skilled user, I have been unable to sync Live! Calendar with Outlook 2007 Calendar despite repeated continual trying. I finally discovered that release Outlook Connector was 12.1 was actually 12.0.6414.1000. Nothing changed despite repeated reinstalls. I do not have MSN but that didn't appear necessary in information I read. The mail syncs well. I haven't tried anything else (I am not sure what else there is). I would appreciate any insight. Thanks

I have been having calendar sync issues for several months. I think it may have been on or about the time I upgraded to Outlook Connector 12.1.

The issue is this: all dismissed reminders keep coming back (every time the calendar tries to resync) right up until they are passed due. None of the swithces (/cleanreminders, etc, fix the problem). I am not a mobile user.

I have seen this issue reported across internet forums, including in this Blog as a comment under the December 2008 announcement post. Has this issue been acknowledged and is it being addressed? Will SP2 fix it?

I have set up 2 accounts a hotmail.com and an msn.com account in my Outlook 2007. I ahve also tried to apply rules to each of these accounts to move a coipy of received mails to a PDA syn folder in Outlook (so I can have copies of these mails on a PDA.) The rules do not seem to work. Mail is received fine in both accounts, but no copying takes place.

I installed the new version of connector, and now my send-receive is hanging at 33% and won't complete.

I am phoning support this morning on this issue. Has this new release been tested?

Since updating to Outlook Connector 12.1 I am getting a round robin of could not sign in error messages. I have a total of five accounts setup. My main account always logs in but the other four take turns at not being able to sign in. It says to restart Outlook but then the next time it will happen to the other accounts. Very frustrating. I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Office Professional Plus 2007.

Outlook 12.0 Removal

I can't upgrade to 12.1 because I can't uninstall 12.0. I have also tried, but can't seem to find a copy of Connector 12.0 so that I can reinstall and uninstall. The uninstall script is looking for a file that I can't find. Why does Microsoft not have a library of previous releases so that this doesn't happen?

Does anybody actually even answer these questions or look at this from Microsoft?

I have been having the same issue as everyone else an can find NO answers anywhere.

Another super Microsoft product! They force us to upgrade to connector 12.1 and it doesn't even work!

Ditto all the above comments. Had been using Outlook 2002, Outlook Connector, Live Messenger and MSN Mail account. All (Mail, Contacts, Calendar, etc...) stayed in Synch. Several weeks ago I received message whenever I started Outlook that I needed to download new Outlook Connector. When it tried it failed because it was no longer backward compatible with Outlook 2002. Installed Office/Outlook 2007 now I can synch mail and contacts but not the Calendars. I have tried removing and setting up a new account but it does not help. Keep receiving message in Outlook Server Status that it cannot connect with Live Messenger. It is incredible to me that this cannot be resolved.
