my hotmail works normally on internet via outlook.com but not via windows live mail. in the past he worked normally. this problem is only there since 2 days.

I got following messages:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (babsvanzinnicq) account. Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later.

Server Error: 0x80048820
Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80048820
So the other day when I turned on my Xbox and go to sign in it says I have to sign in with the Windows Live ID liked to my gamertag. I cannot remember the password for the life of me and have since been desperately trying to remember but microsoft's automated systems are just not helping me at all.

This account is six years old. I never used it for anything. It is SPECIFICALLY so that I can play Xbox. I have since created other Microsoft Accounts but they're not linked to my Xbox in any way - and I can't play online without signing in with the password I cannot remember.

I've filled out the online form time and time again, but can't remember the answer to the security question because it is six years old. I literally have no idea. I can't remember any previous passwords (again, SIX YEARS OLD) and even though I've given card details which I know are right, it's not helping me at all.

What do I do? Ideally I'd like to have an actual conversation with someone from microsoft to try and fix the problem, but I can't find a relevant email address anywhere.

As it stands I'm wasting money on an XBL subscription I can't use, because all of a sudden microsoft are afraid that I'm not me anymore! So annoying.

Any help is appreciated - thanks a lot. :)

Original title: Trying to get help resetting a password for a 6 year old, unused account? Xbox Live related
In reviewing my 2-year-old Hotmails I see that something called Window Live Spaces was converting to Word Press on March 16, 2011.  As I understand it, this was exchanging 1 blog service for another.  I've never used either but now I may be interested in blogging (I have experimented with Google blogging).   Is Word Press still connected with Windows Live, does my Windows Live ID work with this, and do I find it on Outlook, etc.?

And is Word Press superior to Google's blogging? 

Altho I have been using windows live mail successfully for a couple yrs with my Win 7 computer, I cannot email a web page thru the windows live mail software. When I right click on the web page and then click on the "email with windows live'' box, I am asked to sign in to my microsoft outlook acct. which I don't have. I have tried to sign in with my windows live ID and PW but that does not work. However, I was able to sign into this microsoft community account using my windows live ID and PW. Why?

Any help would be appreciated.

I see this when I access to my personal profile:

I contacted Windows Live support but they gave me this reply:

I have no problem with signing in Skydrive via browers. Please check.

 

Thanks.

For that matter, what about my Windows Live Mail 2011? 

I always used Hotmail (now Outlook as of a few months ago) because I could access it with my Windows Live ID from any computer.   I always believed I could not access the Outlook 2010 and the cool calendars, etc  from the Microsoft suite from other computers so I really never activated it. 

Are they all the same?  Is it a matter of preference over which has the coolest tools?

I use SkyDrive extensively to store my files in the cloud but don't understand the connection with Outlook other than I can access it from the Hotmail/Outlook.com email page.

So, is it all the same more or less?
