Additional Details

I have this working on one computer just fine and another does not work at all (see error above).

On the computer that does not have Hotmail working, I have done nothing that I can think of to cause this. It was working at one point and one day it stopped.

"Windows Live Mail is synchronizing this account. Check back in a few minutes to read your messages."

I have seen this for weeks now.

EDIT: I have run through the steps in
How can I resolve machine configuration issues in Windows Live Mail?

and everything seems to be set the way it is suppose to but I still have the errors.

Today, I am not able to sync my Windows Live to my outlook.com e-mail account with the following error:

 

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account.

Server Error: 0x80072F06
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'

I don't want to loos all my emails

Hi, using Windows 7 - 64 and Windows Live Mail 2011 (Version 2011 Build 15.4.3538.0513).  When I receive photos AS A SLIDE SHOW (ie thumbnails attached rather than as embedded photos), I am often only able to open ONE regardless of how many are attached.

I know it's possible to "save all" to a folder then open them, but because of the number of emails we get everyday (with multiple photos), doing that is an absolute pain and waste of time when all we really want to do is double click the thumbnails to have a quick look at each picture in full size.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to Receive mail without sending what I have pending in the outbox?

I have read and, I think, followed the instructions on how to export messages from OE and import them to WLmail. I do not get any error messages during the import and WLMail says that the import was successful. After I complete the installation, I can see a new folder (Imported Folder) under under Storage Files but when I click on it, it says there are no items in this view. Properties shows 0 messsages.  

 

Any suggestions as to what's gone wrong would be appreciated.  I'm switching computers from one with XP to one with Vista.  I didn't have any problem importing my contacts.

Here is a screen shot of what happens when I open the Live Mail application.  This just started yesterday.  This seeming calendar error is keeping me from getting my emails.  I use this application for my business email on my laptop.  If I do not have email I can not do business.  Someone please help me.  Support on the phone is no help!  So frustrated.  Makes me want to get a Mac.

I tried to put the screen shot of the error but this stupid thing won't publish it when I submit it.  Here is what the error says:
"There was an error when attempting to connect to the Windows Live Calendar service. If the error persists, check to see if there's an upgrade of Windows Live Mail available or contact a service representative."


I keep getting the same error message as follows:

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'gwh\zkzfl'
Server: 'smtp.virginmedia.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10060

These have always been the settings for this account, I have removed my anti-virus and re-installed it, used System Restore but all to no avail. Any suggestions and help would be appreciated.

Since yesterday my email has stopped working on Windows live with the following message:

 

Server Error: 4402 Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00002

 

I seem to be able to send emails but not receive them? Please help!

 

Thanks
