SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 or Microsoft Outlook 2002 to set up a connection to a Hotmail account and then click Finish, it may take 40 seconds or more for the process to finish.



MORE INFORMATION
The initial connection to the Hotmail server takes a long time because Outlook has to download folder names and other information from the Hotmail account. Connections are faster after the information is stored on the local computer.
