Since installing windows 10, Live Mail is throwing up the following error message on some of my monitored email accounts but not all.
Unable to send or receive messages for the *************** account.
Server Error: 3204
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE20003
It seems to be random whether an account works or not, some being live.com others outlook.com etc. They work fine on the Live.com website so I know the passwords and configuration are right. They also worked perfectly before the upgrade.
I have tried the various regedit solutions - the one that goes:
Browse to the location:
ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows LiveCommunications ClientsSharedPolicies
Please delete the key marked "ssl.live.com_MBI_SSL" and restart Windows Live Mail
doesn't apply as I don't have that key. Only: messengerclear.live.com_MBI_KEY_OLD
I have also tried the download "fix" from Microsoft - no change.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
I had the same problem as you described, with error 3204 when trying to send/receive email on Outlook.com accounts in Windows Live Mail after upgrading to Windows 10. I removed the accounts and set them up as IMAP instead, using the following settings:
IMAP server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Server port: 993
Encryption: SSL
Outgoing SMTP Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Server port: 587
Encryption: TLS
For the username you must use the complete user@domain.com, not just ‘user.’
Another website suggested setting up that account in the default Mail app. After setting up the Mail app, it will also work to set up your account in Windows Live Mail.
