Unable to send or receive messages

I just started receiveing the following error today:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (XXXXXXXX) account. To
send and receive messages in your Hotmail account, go to
http://hotmail.live.com on the Web, or try again later. To get help from
Windows Live Customer Support, go to http://suppo

Subject ''
Server Error: 5204
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00006

Is there a known issue, or do I have my own problem?

I don't know of any issues. I just tried with two, of three accounts. Both
allowed a connection, and accepted the email for delivery. Both were
received at the other (AOL) account, and replied. Both replies were received
by Windows Live Hotmail, and both were downloaded by Windows Live Mail.

Re: Unable to send or receive messages

I am also getting the same error; however, in my case one msn acct is working
correctly and the other is receiving the error msg (despite
deleting/re-creating, linking in windows live hotmail, and
reinstalling/updating live desktop software). Not sure what else to try...
