Still Getting the 0x800488EB Server Error with Version 2008 Live Mail

This is my second posting about this:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account. Signing in to Windows Live ID failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

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

OK, I can get most of what I need by going directly to Hotmail on my browser. I don't want to upgrade my Live Mail because it makes it distinctly harder to keep copies in my established mail file system.

I have gone to my Hotmail settings online and made sure that the time coincides with the time on my PC.

Anybody have an idea what to try next?

Greatly appreciated,

Dan B
