Unproductive

Woke up at 6am today to jog which I was not able to do because of Outlook problems. I was up since 6am trying to fix it. Luckily I got it all figured out at about 10:30am. I'm afraid I might have to do this the entire day and I have a lot of work to do! This is just UNBELIEVABLE!!! Well, at least, something good came out of this. I learned a few things and how to work around Outlook. Thanks to friends and the internet! ;)

Problems:
1. Hotmail won't open through Outlook
2. Unable to uninstall using my account(and I am the administrator!)
3. Can't upgrade Outlook Connector - needed for Hotmail to be accessible in Outlook
4. Gmail is way too slow when I use Outlook

Solution:
1. Had to run CMD(like DOS prompt) to activate administrator manually
2. Was able to uninstall Outlook Connector
3. Found a way to use Hotmail with Outlook without using Outlook Connector
4. Decided to use Gmail with Outlook and found out that Gmail's using POP3(used to be IMAP which made Outlook freeze) which is better because Outlook's not hanging anymore

As of now, I have more than a hundred MB of emails to be imported and sorted. This is going to be a looooooooong day! I haven't even started working yet.

If you want to use Hotmail with Outlook 2007(without using Microsoft Outlook Connector), check out Life Rocks 2.0.
