Hi

Having problems accessing one of my hotmail accounts tonight, its coming up with the following error:


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

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



Any ideas what the problem is/how it could be sorted?

  • How are you accessing the account - web or software based?

    the odd thing is that I can access my other hotmail address absolutely fine?!

  • Are you using a Proxy?

    Having Googled the error code it seems as it may just clear up itself.

    -NINJA EDIT - Your other account maybe on a different server.

    ah right, hopefully it will clear up itself - wouldnt have mattered as much if it was my other email address as I hardly ever use that one but this one is my main email address!
