Dear Sir,

I am trying to sync (IMAP) my Live.com mails to my email client Windows Live Mail. I have several email accounts in live.com and have no issue at all to sync all of them, but 1 account (the email account I used right now to login and post this question to Microsoft Community).

When I sync this troubled email account, the connection from the Live.com server to Windows Live Mail is painstakingly very slow (several minutes for downloading 1 email without the attachment, while 1 email with attachment will need about 15-20 minutes). And after around one hundred email, it shows this on error tab:

Unable to send or receive messages for the {xxx} account.

Server Error: 0x801941F7
Server: 'https://m.hotmail.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x801941F7

All the settings in Windows Live Mail are right, because all my other Live.mail accounts can sync very fast without any problem.

I tried these methods, but no luck:

Could you help me to look at the problem on this particular email account from your side ?

Thank you very much,

Kar

    I have exactly the same problem with you. Two of my hotmail accounts out of 7 got this error one after one since couple of months ago.
    It seems like it started after some of my Windows 10 updates.
    But I still can access those emails from web-based email pages without any problem.

    I think Microsoft should be answering this problem.

    Thanks.
