i have 3 hotmail accounts and am able to log on & send and receive mail for 2 of the 3 accounts.
i, however, cannot log onto my 3rd (default) hotmail account.
logging in to my default account thru firefox is fine. I just CANNOT log on via the desktop app.
my login id & password are definitely correct (again, they work via firefox).
when 'sending / receiving' mail for all 3 accounts, the 2 accounts say ‘completed’, but the default account says 'cancelled'.
error message: "Windows Live Mail Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please review the list of errors below for more details. 1 of 2 tasks have completed successfully"
The problem began when i hit 'stop', while 'sending/receiving' messages.
now, what happens is...when trying to log on with my password (which is correct) i get: "The email address or password is incorrect". Please try again.
why is the account not accepting a correct password?
I’ve tried changing the password in Firefox (and again, have no problem logging on in firefox), but the password is not accepted when using the desktop app.
Fixes I tried that did not work:
- I ran the "Wlarp" fix, but still not working.
- I removed then re-added the non-working email account.
when setting up the accounts, i chose the ‘automatic’ settings which used the server url of https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx (not pop3 or imap).
- i originally had Windows Live Essentials 2011 and uninstalled, so i could install 2012 version.
Fixes I tried that worked, but no longer work. (This worked until i closed the desktop app and reopened it later in the day:
- I ran crapcleaner as well as scanned registry for issues thru crapcleaner.
any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks!
TIA
