Getting Error code 0x80048820 Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later

Same error appears if you try to sign in to Windows Live Mail.        

The error message quoted is

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (rggraham1947) account. Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later.

Server Error: 0x80048820

Server: 'http://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80048820

The program will not report that it is unable to send or receive messages if the fault is a failure to sign in. That's why it's important to find out which process is throwing the error.

Why does this appear in the server properties?

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

Has Microsoft/Windows Live changed this or is it malware?

Method 1: Check the Windows Live Status.

This showed everything running normally.

... suddenly I'm getting this message when I try to login:

It's not entirely clear when you see this error message. "When I try to login" would indicate that it happens when you launch the program and sign in, either automatically or manually. That is a separate process that determines which calendar and contacts to load. The error message refers to sending and receiving mail. So I'm guessing that you see the message after you've (been) signed in and when the program performs Send and receive messages at start-up.

Some users have experienced a conflict between these two authentication processes - the sign-in to Windows Live services and the log-on to the mail.live.com server - when the credentials (username and password) used are the same. A little troubleshooting experiment might test for this conflict:

1. Press Ctrl-Shift-O for Options and on the General tab deselect Send and receive messages at start-up.
2. Click the right-most button on the Home tab of the ribbon and select Sign out of Windows Live Mail.
3. Wait until the default contacts list and calendar have loaded, then close down the program.
4. Wait a few minutes for the program to complete its housekeeping, then re-launch it.
5. Wait a few moments until the calendar, contacts and message databases have been loaded and the program is ready to receive commands, then click Send/Receive.

Do you see the same error message? The next step depends on the result of the experiment.
