For some reason your email server thinks you submitted the wrong password.
Sometimes this is temporary. Take WLM offline, open the account properties,
uncheck "include when sending/receiving".
Create a new account using the same identical information, but leave include
when sending receiving checked. Restart the program. Send and receive to
verify fix.
This should fix the problem. It should also fix the irritating problem of
getting prompted to input your password over and over and over again.
In Outlook and Outlook Express this should not cause any mail to be lost,
but you would be wise to backup your email store folder before proceeding.
In Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail I don't know the risk to your email so
definitely back it up or protect it in some way.
MS already knows that WLM is a crappy piece of software. And they don't
care. That's why there is no email program included with Windows 7. There
are lots of very good email clients out there, paid and free, including
Outlook, Thunderbird and others.

Hi, good folks--
In addition to being fed up in general with Windows 7 Live Mail, many times
during each day I am temporarily--and ANNOYINGLY--disallowed immediate
access to sending/receiving e-mail by Windows Live Mail Error ID:
0x800CCC92. A Google on this error reveals plenty of sources for supposedly
fixing this situation (presumably a registry-related problem, but I don't
understand why the problem seems to magically "fix itself" after about 20
minutes of frustratingly trying to send/receive e-mail). The problem is, I
don't know if any of the ways out there are actually trustworthy! E.g.,
there are some Websites that offer programs to fix the problem, but I just
don't know whether to trust them.
Has anyone else successfully dealt with this problem, please? I am a bit
timid about going into the registry on my own.
Also, does anyone know of a very high-profile site where one may complain
about this generally brain-dead, crappy e-mail program Microsoft now bundles
with Windows (I guess anything to force us to pay extra bucks for a
reasonably intelligently designed program. . .grrr. . .)--a Website that
might actually get some media and corporate attention, please? If so, would
appreciate knowing about it, please. There seem to be plenty of Websites out
there when one Googles "Windows 7 Live Mail SUCKS!," but I just don't know
how effective any of those sites are. Anyway, I am beginning to big-time
detest Microsoft's software design and marketing decisions, and I would sure
like to find a good way to sound off about it very loudly.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. . .
Many thanks in advance!
And, sorry about the growling -sigh-
Jo-ski
