Outlook connector error 0x80040126

I installed Outlook Connector in order to connect Outlook 2003 to my Hotmail
Live account and I'm getting the message:


"Task '*******@hotmail.com - Sending and Receiving' reported error
(0x80040126) : 'The operation cannot be performed because the connection to
the server is offline.'

I have no other accounts set up in Outlook, I tried disabling all firewalls
and antivirus type programs, I've tried recreating the Outlook Connector
account and I keep getting the same error message.

Are other people having success using Outlook Connector? Web searches for
this error code turn up results where people had similar probems in 2006 due
to a Microsoft server failure. Did this happen again?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I uninstalled Outlook Connector and reinstalled it, and I seem to have a
connection now. I can even send outgoing mail, but I am not able to receive
any mail.

The server status detailed report says:

"Information is missing from your Microsoft Passport Network profile. In
Calendar, click Options, and then update your personal profile."

I know that the calendar should not sync because I don't have a Hotmail
Premium account, but I can't even receive email. What's even more confusing
is that the server status says I am connected to the Calendar, and the mail
storage in the server status shows 5Gb instead of 2!!! It seems like Outlook
Connector thinks I have a paid premium account, but I don't.

Thanks again in advance.
