The Hotmail Connector for Outlook 2010 has been retired by Microsoft, which is why the link shows a 404 error. It’s no longer available or supported.
You can still add your Hotmail/Outlook.com account using IMAP or POP settings:
IMAP (recommended): imap-mail.outlook.com, port 993 (SSL), SMTP smtp-mail.outlook.com, port 587 (STARTTLS)
POP (less recommended): pop-mail.outlook.com, port 995 (SSL)
If your add-in strictly requires the classic connector, it won’t work anymore. You may need a newer Outlook version or update the add-in.
