From: Pedro G on
This is such a joke... Now I was prompted to "upgrade" outlook connector
which was a horrible, horrible, convoluted process that didn't work and kept
repeating itself over and over (outlook would continue to re-prompt o upgrade
EVERY time it was restarted). So I finally unistalled connector 12.1 manually
and attempted to search for the new version with google, which appeared to be
"Hotmail Outlook Connector".

Now the hotmail account works great, but I get the following error on my
msn.com account:

"We were unable to sign in to your account. Please try again. Could not
authenticate against the Windows Live ID service. Please try again later."

Besides this retarded error message telling me to "try again" twice. It
makes no sense due to the fact that there is no "Windows Live ID service"
listed on my pc ANYWHERE.

This is also a sporadic issue, which happens on and off multiple time a day.

Does anyone have an answer or possible solution?

Why is outlook connector so broke, and why can't microsoft fix it?
