Why has Outlook connect (2003) suddenly stopped reading my Microsoft email?

Question

I use Outlook through Outlook Connect to manage my windows email. It has worked flawlessly for over 6 months.

Suddenly I have discovered that about 2 weeks ago, it stopped showing my new emails in Outlook.

When I go to the bottom of the window and select "Server Status", everything shows as connected, but the new messages are not in Outlook.

I can find no way to fix this. Can anyone help?

Thanks

EDIT: Outlook 2003

Answer 1

I have not found out why it suddenly stopped, but after much searching on the net I tried (3 times) to remove my Microsoft account and re-install it. For some reason, the 3rd time it worked.

Please, @Cole Lavallee, put your comment in an answer so I can accept it, as I believe that is what you were suggesting. Otherwise I'll have to accept my own answer.

I have up-voted your comment. Thanks

Just few days ago Microsoft turned on Exchange sync for all Hotmail/Windows Live email accounts so I suggest to try to sync like you'd do it with Microsoft Exchange and not ouse the Outlook Connector at all.
