Two days ago my .msn hotmail account stopped syncing on my laptop. Today the same thing has happened on my desktop. I have tried deleting the account and re-adding it. I have tried uninstalling Windows Live and reinstalling. I have tried going back to Windows Live 2011, all with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

The error I am getting is:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Msn (thiser) account.

Server Error: 0x800488EB
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800488EB

My operating system on both is Windows 7 Home Premium

Have you gone to Control panel, Programs and Features, clicked on Windows Essentials, clicked Uninstall/Change, Repair..... ?

this does not work.  uninstalled windows live/ does not work after re-install, tried the fix programs/all they want is to pay for their product.  put in fix it/it does not.  tried go back to an earlier date/does not work, even when they say its a virus. proved them wrong as did not have windows live running in laptop as main computer was always running windows live. still have the error code 0x800488eb and no one has a sensible working answer to fix this???????

Has there been any update on the fix for the error?  There are multiple threads on this topic, but I'm still not working thru WLM. Can access email via Outlook

This started on May 9.  Mail through May 8 was fine.  Please help me.  I really don't want to change my internet address.

Thanks in advance!

I have tried every solution to this that has been offered in the forum.  The only one that I found that has worked is changing the date to 1/5/2014.  This works to get my email to download, I then reset the date to what it should be and everything is fine as long as I do not close out of my account because if I do I have to do the date thing all over again.  I have never had this problem before and I do not know what caused it.  It started on May 8th.  I have updated, reconfigured, changed and what ever else I could find and I still end up with the same problem.  The message that comes with the error code is as follows: 0x800488EB  mail.services.live.com/Deltasync_v2.0.01 sync.aspx .  Can someone please tell me what I can do to fix this?

PLEASE HELP!  I have tried to search previous messages relating to my problem, but I am not very computer literate and the answers make no sense to me.  My email was working fine until Friday and now the message I get is: 

Unable to send or receive messages for the Epix (judirpr) account. The connection to the server has failed.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

can anyone tell me IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS what the problem is and how to fix it?  THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

I haven't been able to send/receive email on my msn.com account since yesterday, 5.12.14.  This is the message I'm getting:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Msn  account.

I have read through the discussion threads for similar error message but it is sort of all beyond my expertise.  I'm tech-challenged so really need someone to take me through step by step to resolve this issue.

I created a folder in Windows Live Mail with about six subfolders.

I was able to use these folders daily for about two years.

I was able to export and import them between my laptop and desktop computers.

They behaved exactly as the folders provided with the original equipment (Dell Inspiron 1545).

After some two years of constant, daily  use, the main folder simply disappeared with all its subfolders (along with two years of work).

I have read the saved threads with this same title to no avail.

Can you help?

I recently went through the weird security thing in Windows Live where Microsoft decided I had to wait a month before being able to use live email fully. And now when I try to log in to my regular hotmail account (not this one) I am given the question "Where shall we send your code?" with a pitiful choice between an email that does not exist! (the suffix is wrong) or "I can't verify my account". There seems no way to change this inaccuracy and no way of contacting Microsoft to let them know that the email is not mine. If I click "I can't verify" then I will just be sent through the same 1 month loop. Save going to Micosoft's offices and asking in person, what on earth can I do? An help much appreciated!
