How can I resolve software configuration issues in Windows Live Mail?

I did both of those things and the problem is still not resolved. 

This is the error message I get:

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

Please advise.

Thank you!

I just uninstalled Windows Live Mail and then re-installed it and I still cannot receive my emails. I am getting the same error message as before:

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

Server Error: 0x800488EB

This is extremely frustrating. What else can I try?

What version of Windows are you using?

Logon to your account in the web interface and ensure you have not enabled SSL for that Live ID Hotmail account

 - http://account.live.com

  Connect with HTTPS

 - Check ' Don't use HTTPS automatically'

If not checked, uncheck the option

I have Windows 7.

I could not find anywhere to adjust the SSL setting. Please advise what else I can try.

Sorry, It's been in effect since 2011

Originally you could use the link I provided and the option was seen once you logged in.  Now there's no need to opt in.

Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab

Click Lan Button

Uncheck Automatically Detect Settings

Click Apply, Ok

Uncheck Remember Password

Open WLM

Select Account > Properties

Select Server Tab

Uncheck Remember Password

Click Apply, Ok

Retry syncing

Hi

It could be due to some proxy server setting. You might have connected to the wireless some place that required you to change that and now you may have forgot to put the setting back to its default.

Go to

Control Panel->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings

Make sure proxy is not clicked. In fact, you don't need to have anything clicked there.

Let us know if this fixes your problem.

I tried this in desperation as my own post remains unresolved [see above ]Server Error: 4402 Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00002

I have to say that were it not for the additional pain of losing my contacts and links to a thousand and one other websites I would be tempted to unistall the Windows Live Mail PERMANENTLY.

You can export/import contacts

And the same may be done with Favorites

Try adding a new account using the same credentials you used with this account.  Verify if the account has synced.  If it has, delete the old account. See corrupted user profile below
