I have been having problems getting my Hotmail account to either send or receive any mail at all, and then my Wanadoo account started to give problems too - it would receive mail but not send it!  I tried re-installing the accounts but this made no difference so I uninstalled the Windows Live Essentials programme and downloaded a fresh shiny copy.

It went well until 'sign in' (using my Hotmail address and password) when it came up with the error message 80072eff. 

I tried setting up a new password on my Hotmail address and tried again to no avail !!

Please help!!!!!

Thank you!!
