Outlook Hotmail connector stopped working with switch to outlook.com

I switched my Hotmail account to outlook.com and the desktop Outlook stopped being able to fetch my messages, contacts and calendar stuff.
When you switch from a Hotmail or Windows Live address to a new outlook.com address your previous address becomes an alias.
Here's what you have to do on this forum thread: I switched from Hotmail to Outlook.com, why doesn’t Outlook Hotmail Connector work?
