Windows Live Mail was working fine until 6/17/'14 but now it says it is " tasking" to connect to my web mail site and the status is "executing", however, I cannot send or receive emails and there is no error message to address or anymore details. When I shut down my laptop, I get a message that I have a task host at work and should go back and close it and save files before I shut down but there is no way to do this and so I have to choose, "shut down anyway"?????????
Windows Live Mail opens, but 'Authorizing' message remains.  If I click Send/Receive button I am prompted to enter user name and P/W.  User name is visible and P/W is series of dots.  Remember P/W box is ticked.  I I try ok, the prompt keeps reappearing, if I try cancel I see error message: Server Error 0x800CCC90, WLM Error ID 0x800CCC92.  Incorrect user name and P/W.  This problem started suddenly about two days ago.  I have tried changing my Microsoft Account P/W but that did not help.  I am not very computer literate and am now totally confused.  Any help appreciated.

Windows Live Mail was working fine and then all of a sudden it stopped syncing emails from Hotmail. It has continued to correctly sync (send and receive mail) for my other accounts. When I try to sync my hotmail account I get the following error message:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (alexsmookler) account.

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

I have tried deleting the account and re-adding it and then I get this message:

Windows Live Mail is synchronizing this account. Check back in a few minutes to read your messages.

I keep checking back but nothing changes. My emails do not come in and this message continues to be displayed.

I have also tried "repairing" Windows Live Mail via the control panel on my computer. This did not do anything to help the problem.

Please advise.

Thank you.
