I've been having exactly the same problem for the last few days. I can't send or receive email with Live Mail from my Hotmail account. Other pop3 accounts work fine and I can log directly into my Hotmail account and send and receive email, but when I use Live Mail I get the following error:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account.

Server Error: 3204
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE20003

I tried dropping and re-adding the account in Live Mail, but it didn't make any difference. When I check my online activity report in Hotmail it shows that I'm connecting successfully from Internet Explorer, but clearly, I'm not. All of these attempts resulted in the error above:

Successful sign-in (14 events)Today 8:52 PM - 9:23 PMUnited States

Hello,

Problem started May 30 on both laptops - one HP - Vista, the other Acer - Win7.

The problem is with downloading messages from my Hotmail account. Only one or two of them being loaded after many attempts and always with errors shown like:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account. To send and receive messages in your Hotmail account, go to http://hotmail.live.com on the Web, or try again later. To get help from Windows Live Customer Support, go to http://support.live.com and click Windows Live Mail in the list of services.

Server Error: 0x80072EFF
Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80072EFF.

My wife's la[top with Win7 works O.K.

Any idea?

Thank you

Hi!

I'm helping a friend with her computer and MS-account. When installing Windows 8.1 and in some other cases MS-account wants to verify your account by reentering your mail-adress and you should get a 4-digit code back to your mail. Now, my friend only has a Hotmail-adress registerd to her account, no other information. So when asking for verifying an e-mail adress she can only verify to her Hotmail. And the code doesn't show up. I suspect that you can't verify an account to itself so were stuck in a loop here. Does someone have a tips for this scenario?

Hotmail keeps pushing OVERPROTECTIVE which is complicated and waste lots of time. This is really irritating and annoying. I'm sure many people will stop using hotmail very soon. It is uncomfortable since it forced to change into outlook view.

I tried so many many times to log in. Try using another account which apparently having the same problems. Even I use another account to receive the code and try to log in, it said "We're not ready for you yet. We'll send you an email on 6/23/2014 when you can replace the following security info.". This is ridiculous. Do I have to wait for a month to log in?????????

People use hotmail, normally because it is easy to use, but now it's totally not like that. Hope you fix the problem soon.

I set up Windows Live Mail 2012 on the Windows 8 OS but it doesn't work

I created account, choose manually configures server setting and choose Hotmail. Not work, can not sent the Email.

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account.

All of a sudden I keep getting an error message every time I try to reply or forward  a message. This is only happening when I use hotmail on my iPad via Safari. It worked fine for years before yesterday. Coincidentally I recently received a security info replacement message when I logged into hotmail. I hope that was not a virus or the cause of this however I don't think that is the case since my account works via other access points (different computer, app).

This is is what is says when I hit reply on a message.

Sorry, it looks like there was an error. Please try again. 
Ok

Microsoft have emailed a 4 digit code which, when i input, is apparently wrong and i should have a 5 digit code. HELP! all i want is to access my hotmail account. why so difficult?

Windows live mail will not let me send emails using my Hotmail account, I see a lot of people are also having this problem but haven't really seen a solution.

This is the error I receive.
