I use a hotmail account with Outlook 2010 and Outlook connector. Roughly since the “upgrade” to Outlook.com, I have been having issues sending mail using Outlook 2010.  It seems to be somewhat intermittent. Sometimes a message will send with no issues, but most of the time my Outlook 2010 “Hangs” during the send process. I will get the message “not responding”  I have to end the Outlook process at that point.

I have done a bit of online research, and tried most of the suggested fixes. I have deleted the Hotmail account, and re-installed it several times. I have also re-named and deleted the OST file before the last install.  I have disabled all of the add-ons. I have uninstalled and re-installed outlook connector.

I am thinking of deleting Outlook 2010 itself, and re-installing, but I also have an exchange account that works, and I don’t want to go through all of the issues of having to start from scratch for that.

I am using Window 7 64 bit professional, and my Outlook 2010 is the 32 bit edition. (As are my other office apps)

Any suggestions?
