Vista - Message could not be displayed

I keep getting this after downloading the new Windows Live Mail. I can't get
my old emails to download.

Message could not be displayed
Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.


This is the only thing we get when we try to view a hotmail message. Anyone
any idea as to why this is happening?

Was there no error message other than what you quote? If so, please copy and
paste it into a reply here.

Outlook express still works fine.

Hi Noel, sorry for the erroneous posts below, slip of the finger.

I changed the download behaviour of hotmail into WLM from headers to
messages to force a server error report, which follows.

############################################
Windows Live Mail could not download the requested message. 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://support.live.com and click Windows Live Mail in the list of
services.

Subject 'test'
Server Error: 0x8000FFFF
Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8000FFFF
#####################################################

test refers to the message header i sent myslef from another account.
hope this helps

You're not the only one with finger trouble. I forgot most of what I should
have written...
1. It's important to specify your OS; the response may well be different for
XP and Vista, 32- or 64-bit.
2. What AV are you running? Is it configured to scan email? If it is, tell
it not to. As Symantec, for example, admit at http://tinyurl.com/bhsva :
"Disabling email scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments." Lots of problems have been
associated with AV, particularly Norton and McAfee. I don't recall a single
one with either Avast! or AVG, which both have free versions.

That said, the error message you're getting is pretty unhelpful - it just
means 'something went wrong.' You could try removing the account, rebooting
and then setting it up again to see if that helps. If none of this works,
you'll have to appeal to support at

Sorry not to have a magic wand to wave.

No problem Noel, just for information we run XP SP2, and i've already
disabled AVG email checking and called up MS-Support :-)

Thanks for taking the time to respond anyway, I think personally that MS
servers are cocked up yet again

regards,

K
