Yes and all it does is sign me into a different version of hotmail. I
currently run Windows Live Mail and it just signs me into the standard
hotmail account. I have checked all my settings and there seems to be no
reason for the error.... on my part anyway. One day it is working fine and
the next day it was all messed up.

The error message you quoted in your OP was truncated for some
reason. The interesting bit got cut - could you post it again?
Meanwhile, have you tried removing the account, restarting WLMail
and then adding it back again?

Thanks for verifying that you can access your account at mail.live.com.
Were you able to actually send and receive messages from that location
- ie. New messages should be present in the Inbox and a test message sent to you or a contact can be sent and received by you or
the recipient

If yes, then the issue should be local problem with WLM and/or the account in WLM ?

Noel, suggested(a good suggestion) removing the account in WLM and recreating the account. It's worth a try.

Can you also post the full and exact content of the error message ?
- sometimes that error message indicates the type of account and server pop3(pop3.live.com) or Http (DeltaSync)
- do not include your email address(xxx that item out).

- Note: If your Hotmail account is setup as a Pop3 account rather than an http account, it would be most appropriate to backup your
messages in WLM(File/Messages/Export or Copy messages to a new user created folder in WLM' Storage folders)before removing a pop3
account.
