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:

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

    I called Microsoft, and unless I misunderstood, Microsoft stopped supporting windows live mail with the new Microsoft windows update, they appear to be pushing the new mail that comes with windows 10, apparently, the new mail program lost a lot of features that made windows live mail so fast and convenient ... I believe I understand that if you have the money, you can buy Microsoft Outlook 2016, but when I used an earlier version of outlook I had many issues with windows 10

    If you sign in to Outlook at THIS LINK you can then pin it to your start menu if you don't like the new "Mail" app that comes with Windows 10. Just click those three dots in the upper right corner of the toolbar and select "Pin to Start" for easy access to your mail from then on.

    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.
