If you like web mail, why don't you try fixing those problems? That's
not normal behavior.

Gmail does IMAP pretty well.

Internet Explorer is a web browser, not an e-mail client. Perhaps what
you meant to say is that you are having problem with the *web pages*
provided by your e-mail provider (i.e., the webmail client).

just get cookies not enabled for gmail error even though they are
enabled and firefox just shows a blank page.

Did you flush the web browser's TIF folder? If so, did you make sure
that EVERYTHING got flushed. IE8, for example, lets you keep cookies
from sites in your Favorites list and flush the others so you need to
also flush the cookies for your favorite sites, too.

Did you try loading the web browser WITHOUT loading any add-ons that you
installed for it?

What security software do you have installed (firewall, anti-virus,
ad-blocking, privacy, hosts file, etc) that may be interrogating and
possibly altering your web traffic?

Yet tried loading Windows in its safe mode (with networking) to see if
something you installed to load on Windows startup is causing the
problem?

Hotmail *never* had IMAP service. It has POP (which got added,
disappeared, and reappeared) and its webmail client (the original
interface). Microsoft added WebDAV and later replaced it with Deltasync
for an HTTP access method. Microsoft's properietary WebDAV and
Deltasync provide IMAP-like access but they are not IMAP.

"Outlook" covers a whole range of versions of that product. You didn't
bother to identify WHICH version you have. Outlook Express and Outlook
(up to and including version 2002) supported WebDAV access. Outlook
Express development went dead in 2002 (or 2006 depending on whether or
not you include a couple registry hacks as development, and security
updates do NOT count as development). Microsoft discontinued WebDAV
access and went to Deltasync. Outlook 2003+ has support for Deltasync
via the Outlook Connector add-on available separately from Microsoft.

I do OK using Thunderbird, Firefox, and Windows Live Mail for gmail.
That's all I've tried...

I have to agree with Nil that you have a problem that needs to be
solved, but sadly I can't guess what it is.

I meant outlook hotmail http access. Tried office connector but that failed.

Are we supposed to go find the previous posts in this thread and
figure out what you're referring to? Snipping is great, but you
snipped everything, leaving us with no context.

Are you still having email issues?

The Outlook Connector "failed". What would that mean to us here that
don't see at what you are pointing on your monitor?

This plug-in is the only means of adding Deltasync support into Outlook
(i.e., the HTTP access method for Hotmail). If you cannot install this
plug-in or get it to not "fail" then you won't be getting IMAP-like
access via Deltasync to your Hotmail account.

Since the real issue is the Outlook Connector "failing" and it isn't a
Windows 7 problem then you need to address the problem in an Outlook
newsgroup, like:

microsoft.public.outlook.general

Regarding error or status messages:
- Do NOT omit the message.
- Do NOT describe the message.
- Do NOT summarize the message.
- Do NOT paraphrase the message.
- Do NOT truncate the message.
- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
And DETAIL the steps to reproduce the error or problem.

Come on, that's not true.

I'm sure a person could think of a creative way, to reach that percentage.

What they are probably prompting is snipping. Respondents are expected
to trim or snip the quoted content to just that which provides context
for their response. Alas, many posters are lazy and just slap their
reply content into the body without touching anything of the quoted
content. I also get rid of greeting lines ("Hi", "Hello", "Need help")
superfluous non-signatures (before the sigdash line) since obviously
everyone sees in the From header who wrote the post, and signatures
should always get snipped.

For example, in my reply here, I snipped the attribution lines since all
the datestamping and e-mail addresses are superfluous and just make it a
nuisance to see who said what. Since this subthread has now evolved
into what AIOE will allow, none of the quoted content needs to include
the OP's question about the Outlook Connector.

Considering the lazy posters using AIOE where they add very little of
their own content in their reply to a huge quoted thread, I doubt AIOE
is actually implementing this policy, or it's very flaky when it gets
applied. Has anyone actually tested if AIOE enforces that policy?

Of course, AIOE is only claiming a policy regarding content of a post.
They are not addressing any limitation on providing a link or a
URL link to a Google Groups copy of the other thread. Failing that,
just mention the newsgroup and subject line. Along with your nym that
is already known (unless you nymshift which often gets you ignored as a
troll) would be sufficient to find the other thread. Name, newsgroup,
subject would point at the other thread.
