Can't send email, keep getting server error 3219, Windows Live Mail error 0x8DE00005

Anonymous

I just recently started getting this error when using Live Mail synced with my hotmail account

Server Error: 3219

Server: http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync\_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00005

Looked for solutions online and tried most of the suggestions, but most are several years old and no longer apply since the switch to Outlook.

Server Error: 3219

Server: http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync\_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00005

The error codes indicate that this Outlook.com account has been upgraded to the new version. Please sign into the account at http://mail.live.com; you should see something like the Outlook Mail banner shown here in the top left-hand corner of the window:

This means that you can't use DeltaSync to access this account any more, because Outlook Mail is not provisioned for it. You'll find step-by-step instructions for setting up the account to use IMAP instead on this page:

Windows Live Mail and Outlook Mail

If you sign in in Windows Live Mail with this account, you'll find that the calendar will no longer synchronize.

Not to me it hasn't been...constant issues. That is why I now use the other two services instead.

HOW'S THIS FOR MORE CURRENT?

Live Mail isn't really working anymore, man.

That is why one switches to Outlook or uses the Windows 10 Mail app both of which work fine.

FAREWELL WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

You have posted to an article from 2012. Windows Live Mail is still here and quite useful.

If you sign in to Outlook at THIS LINK you can then pin it to your start menu ...

Thanks, but that doesn't solve the problem of server error 3219 in Windows Live Mail.

There are many reasons why people want to keep on using the program, and your suggestion only addresses one tiny aspect of the program's capabilities: accessing an Outlook Mail account*. The whole point of Windows Live Mail is that it allows you to concentrate all your email accounts in one place with a storage area for archiving messages from any of the accounts. It also gives you an RSS feed reader, an NNTP client for newsgroups and an integrated calendar and contacts list. You also have access to all your messages so you can read them and compose replies and new messages even if you have no Internet connection. Try that with Outlook.com!

*PS I have a dozen Outlook.com accounts with addresses on all manner of domains. Your solution would be a nightmare for me - I'd have to pin a link to an InPrivate session and then spend time entering a complex 16-character password for each account I wanted to check. I couldn't just click on the Read this reply link in the

notification email in order to reply to you unless I just happened to be signed in to the right account at the time.

Using a browser for email will never be a satisfactory alternative for a seasoned mail client user.
