I cannot send or receive email in my windows live mail. I keep getting the error 0x800488EB. I have tried every suggestion I can find and nothing works.

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?
