Unable to send or receive messages for the Msn (xy) account. "Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later."
Server Error: 0x80048820
Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80048820
Do you have any solutions?
Try this. Close WLM. Go to Hotmail on the web, and clean out all the folders. If you want to save any messages, create a new folder and move those messages to the new folder. Empty the thrash also. Remember that when you restart WLM, it will try to sync with the new folder status on the web, so be sure you have moved any important email to a storage folder.
That did not work for me. I was getting this error from Windows Live Mail:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (nandajo2u) account. Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later.

I changed my server options for my hotmail account from HTTP to POP3 and it works fine now.

Not clear if this worked for me or not. When I logged into Hotmail on the web, I discovered I had an email account lodged into Firefox. I told Firefox to forget about this email account, and then logged in to my true Hotmail account, after which I proceeded to clean out all my folders and empty the trash. Then I tried to connect to Hotmail via Windows Live Mail and everything worked. However, based on the fact that my Hotmail account worked when I deleted it and re-added it to Windows Live Mail, I think it's more likely the problem was resolved by telling Firefox to forget about the other email account.
Thanks for the suggestion.

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)
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
