Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00005

Applies to: What?
A quick article on how to update the Microsoft Live Server URL for Hotmail using Windows Live Mail. Well how to deactivate an account and set up a new one in Windows Live Mail. If you used IMAP all along then the new account will have all your mail.

The error

How?
I don't remember the time when the Microsoft website became helpful but as they already have an article on this, I'm going to do a bunch of screenshots:

The error is that I can't receive/send messages on this account.
Windows Live Mail - Unable to send or Receive for Hotmail

The problem has something to do with DeltaSync no longer being supported.
Windows Live Mail - Server URL DeltaSync

Deactivate the account by deselecting "include this account when receiving mail or synchronising" in the account properties dialog.
Windows Live Mail - Account Properties Deactivate

Add an account by selecting 'Accounts' tab and then clicking on 'Email' with the plus sign.
Windows Live Mail - Add Email Account

Add your account and tick 'Manually configure server settings'.
Windows Live Mail - Manually configure server settings

Configure server settings complete as per the image below (changing the log-on username to your own):
Windows Live Mail - Configure server settings

The downloading of all your folders will take a while so don't panic if you find empty folders. Doing a 'send/receive' will bring up the dialog showing its progress.
It's gonna take patience and time
