hello,

maybe 2 years using windows live mail no problem all of a sudden it will not
retrieve hotmail or msn accounts. changed the passwords and i can access
it via the web, but it will not sync. the error is can not download
messages from
these accounts. i uninstalled and reinstalled windows live still it will not
get my mail.

thanks,
craig

Craig,
Others are experiencing similar issues with hotmail/live/msn accounts in OE, WLM, Outlook and third party clients. This is a server related problem, not a local account or email client.
- Do not remove accounts, do not remove and reinstall your email client....it is not an email client problem.

If using pop3 or deltasync for hotmail,msn, or live.com in Windows Live Mail do not change any of your settings. They are correct.

As noted this is a server related problem. Test the account periodically for functionality.

In the interim use the web interface (mail.live.com) for send/receipt of mail.
