Question

MSN Outlook connector mail won't open

Jun 7, 2011 10:49AM PDT

I am using Win 7 64bit and Outlook 2010. Connector is installed and the MSN account shows in Outlook, but when I try to open it I get a message that says the set of folders cannot be opened. At the end it says ost is not valid.

Can anyone tell me how to correct this?

"MSN Outook Connector is MS software that allows all msn email to be sent to Outlook, even if the primary email in Outlook is not MSN. It should show a set of mail folders for each msn address"

Seems some setting. Or maybe some firewall.

Correct those and it will work.
