How to Use Outlook Instead of Windows Live Email

People who use the Windows Live email service typically check their messages through a web browser, but PC users with Microsoft Office can use Outlook instead. However, before you can set up a Windows Live account in Outlook, you must first install the Outlook Office Connector, which will let your computer download Windows Live messages and data.
