0x800706ba windows live mail problem

A specific error code!

0x800706ba is a Windows error code that typically indicates a problem with the Windows Live Mail (WLM) application or its connection to the Microsoft Exchange server. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Causes:

  1. Outdated or corrupted WLM installation: The error may occur if WLM is not updated or is corrupted.
  2. Microsoft Exchange server issues: Problems with the Exchange server, such as maintenance or outages, can cause this error.
  3. Network connectivity issues: Issues with your internet connection or network settings can prevent WLM from connecting to the Exchange server.
  4. Firewall or antivirus software conflicts: Firewalls or antivirus software may be blocking WLM's connection to the Exchange server.

Solutions:

  1. Update WLM: Ensure you're running the latest version of WLM. You can check for updates in the Microsoft Store or by visiting the Windows Live website.
  2. Reinstall WLM: If updating doesn't work, try reinstalling WLM. Go to the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features" (or "Add or Remove Programs" in Windows 7), and uninstall WLM. Then, download and reinstall WLM from the Microsoft website.
  3. Check Exchange server status: Visit the Microsoft Exchange server status page to see if there are any known issues or outages.
  4. Check network connectivity: Ensure your internet connection is stable and working properly. Try restarting your router or modem if necessary.
  5. Disable firewall or antivirus software: Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus software to see if it resolves the issue. If it does, you may need to configure your software to allow WLM to connect to the Exchange server.
  6. Reset WLM settings: Try resetting WLM's settings to their default values. Go to the WLM settings, click "More Settings," and then click "Reset" at the bottom of the window.
  7. Contact Microsoft support: If none of the above solutions work, you can contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

Remember to always back up your email data before attempting any troubleshooting or reinstalling WLM.
