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?
Thanks

Ive tried via the internet and via windows live mail - on the internet it comes up service unavailable but the live mail comes up with the above error?

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.0 -
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!
