The connector is for Windows only. When I last used Entourage (version before 2008), it downloaded my Hotmail emails fine without asking for any additional downloads.
Got a tip for us?

yeah everythings fine i thin.......its not stuck in send and recieve anymore.
i just need more patience.
it does say error, but thats to do with calender sync, the help file with connector mentions this, i dont need the calender sync anyway.
so my outlook has synced up with my hotmail........im happy..........
so does this mean the emails are stored on my hard-drive?
would i be able to access them even when the internet is not connected?
is there a folder where they reside? for easy back up....
im gonna also put them all into gmail like you said via IMAP.........from outlook...........
say if i sync again, by send and recieve in outlook few weeks from now......will just the new emails in hotmail get downloaded into outlook, or will EVERYTHING get downloaded agian, making duplicates of stuff taht is already in outlook.......?
yeah everything im doing is on a windows pc........
then ill be setting up gmail and apple mac MAIL on my macbook......

Yes to both
There's a program that Microsoft provides to backup Outlook: Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders Backup tool.
Whenever Outlook sends/receives, it will only download new emails from the server and delete anything on the server that you have deleted in Outlook.
hi
when i get my email to Mail on my mac, from my gmail account,
all my sent items are in my inbox in my mail account....
so say if i send an email using gmail website.....when i get the mail synced to mac Mail, the sent item comes in my inbox in Mail, mixed up with my inbox items.
but if i send an email using Mail, then its stored in my sent folder.
when i sync, cant the sent items go into sent in Mail?
apart from that, Mail is nice........

If you go into your Google Mail account preferences in Mail, you can sync everything and everything is copied onto your hard drive and onto the Google Mail servers

so i have to set up the IMAP thing...?
pop3 wont do it.......
im currrntly doing it with pop3 which was automatically set up when i opened up MAil for the firtst time.....
ok thanks man.
Just change your account settings according to the ones on the website I linked. It'll change your account access to IMAP since it's superior to POP.
IMAP is da bomb, I could never go back to POP3.
why?
all of this is very complicated.
im just about to use imap with mail and gmail........
very complex stuff.....
