Help Hotmail via ActiveSync

Since the HTC Sense 3.0 update, I have happily been using the HTC Mail App via ActiveSync to connect to my Hotmail account, with details as below.

email: username@live.co.uk
server: m.hotmail.com
domain:
password: ********
username: username@live.co.uk
SSL: Enable

Today, it stopped working. New emails no longer appeared on my phone.

I removed the Hotmail account from Accounts & Sync to add it back, but now get the 'Failed to create the account. Please try again later' message right at the end after tapping on Finish.

I have cleared the tick marks next to Mail, Contacts and Calendar, and set sync to manual (seem to remember this as a workaround to this issue before), and also cleared data for the mail app but I can't set the account back up.

Have Hotmail broken something? Anyone else with the same issue? I'm hoping not to have to go back to Improved Email...

I found I could add a different Hotmail account with no problems so the issue was with my particular Hotmail account.

About 15 minutes after posting on answers.microsoft.com, it started working again.
