    I've searched the forum but couldn't find a similar problem mentioned,
    so I'm really hoping you guys can help me out with this.

    For over a week now I've been getting an error message on both of my hotmail accounts when I open Live Mail.

    Unable to send or receive messages for the hotmail (*******) account.
    Server error: 0x80048820
    Server: http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80048820


    I get an occasional error message on my ISP email addy but most of the time that one's ok.


    In my attempts to fix this I've tried :
    Confirmed the date and time on my PC is ok.
    Unchecking *Check for server certification revocation*.
    Downloading latest version of Windows Live Mail.
    Removing accounts and adding them back in (several times).
    Rebooting ........ many times.

    During all of this I also re-installed Windows 7 (for other reasons) and downloaded Live Mail from scratch.
    Still getting the same error messages.

    I've been bouncing around the Windows Solution Centre for about a week now, they keep telling me they've fixed it .......... I keep telling them they haven't.

    I don't know if this is relevant in any way but the time and date on the emails that do manage to sneak through don't match when they were sent or when they hit the inbox.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this ?

    Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I've just been suffering with this exact same problem. After trying everything people had posted on threads like this one to no avail, i played around a bit myself and managed to fix it. My fix seems a little nonsensical but i've back tested it a few times and it definitely is the cause of the issue on my computer.

    The fix is in 'Options->Email accounts->'your mail server (in my case hotmail)'
    Then click Properties.
    Go to the server tab and actually remove your password (and the 'remember password' tickbox)

    (my Server URL says http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx on this page)

    It seems this 'extra' mail server login is confusing the server somehow and generating the 0x80048820 error.

    (When i tried putting my password back in with 'remember password' ticked, the same annoying server error is again generated).

    Let me know if this works for you,

    Steve
