I picked up on your point re enhanced support now for IMAP and have this
morning (local now 1240h) been running Outlook with my POP accounts alongside
IMAP accounts (gmail.com) and I agree with you; O 2010 does handle them well.
I can see no benefit in running up Connector for the Hotmail accounts as they
are all behaving well under POP. This configuration certainly solves the
problems noted in the thread. I suspect the culprit all along was Connector.
Thanks for your input
