I continue having a problem synching my Hotmail account to my Iphone 4 and iPad. I have the account since 2000, but it worked alright until now

After the status.live.com page shows the sync issue as solved, I am still not able sync contacts or mail to my devices. 

Following the advice shown here in other posts, I have reinstalled the account many times, as Hotmail and as Exchange, but it still doesn't work.

Sometimes, right after I reinstall the account, it will sync some 10 or 12 emails at random that are 2 or 3 years old, but it won't do anything after and immediately after, it shows that the server is not reachable.

Any hint?

Thanks!
