From: Rich Armstrong on
I have the released version of the Outlook Hotmail connector (14.0.4760.1000)
installed with the RTM version of Outlook 2010 (also 14.0.4760.1000).
Whenever I perform Send/Receive, Outlook appears to synchronize everything:
sent mail is dispatched, mail in my inbox and other folders appears—or
disappears—as expected. However, a “Send/Receive error” always appears in
Outlook's status bar, and the following always appears on the Errors tab of
the Send/Receive Progress dialog:

“Task 'xxxxxxx(a)msn.com' reported error (0x80004005): 'There is an error
synchronizing your mail account. Please verify your account is configured
correctly by first accessing your mail on the web. Error: 4203.'”

I have seen this behavior on multiple configurations (all Windows 7):
• 32-bit Outlook and 32-bit Hotmail Connector with 32-bit OS
• 32-bit Outlook and 32-bit Hotmail Connector with 64-bit OS
• 64-bit Outlook and 64-bit Hotmail Connector with 64-bit OS

In each case, I have removed and re-added my Hotmail account as well as
uninstalling and reinstalling the Hotmail Connector. The same error—ending in
“Error: 4203”—always appears.

I've used the Hotmail Connector without a problem since it was first
released many years ago with every version of Outlook that supported it, most
recently version 12 with Outlook 2007 until Outlook 2010 reached RTM. I did
not install any pre-RTM versions of any Office 2010 applications.

Can anyone provide a way to prevent this error?
