Hotmail- how to permanently link it with Microsoft Outlook

[Jenny105]

My hotmail address of 20 odd years has been behaving badly . Recently Ive been receiving a message asking to link Hotmail with Outlook

I did this manually once and my account appeared in a different format. 

It would be good to know how to make this permanent. It seems some of my emails are not reaching their destination using reply or forward.

Hi M15     Im wondering if Ive acheived the final result.  Or not.   

Microsoft Outlook was found and signed into. Up popped the account with all the necessary components but in a different format. This was saved to Favourites. Can it be pinned to task bar?

Is there a way to make this permanent . Im not sure where the info sent above had its  start point for putting in ones details.

You can set it as the homepage for a browser, then pin that browser to your task bar.

0k     There is one point which may or may not be relavant here. 

I have not had Office for about 10yrs. I use Apache Open Office . At one point in the above proceedings Microsoft were wanting me to sign into Office

Polling through Gmail might be a better option for you then.

I'll take a look over the weekend.. At one time it didn't seem to matter about Office . Then a change seemed to have occurred.
