You are indeed still using WLMail Desktop, as per your headers. The beta
of WLMD has expired and has been replaced by WLMail with the current
build .1184. It is encouraged to update, as there will be no further
development for WLMail Desktop.

There seems indeed to be an issue with the Community servers. MVPs have
reported it for some days now, but it is obviously not yet resolved.

It should be temporary, and most likely is no problem on your side.

Update to WLMail first, then I can tell you how to disable it. Can't
recall for sure how this was with WLMail Desktop. ;-)

Ah, sorry, then you probably reside in a country that is not supported
yet. See here all direct download links for the available languages and
several of the current Windows Live betas, courtesy of Squall Leonhart
(in a time when he was not yet ignored by me ;-) ):

Dear Roland,
Thank you very much for you help!
now my Live Mail Desktop works, and it looks like better, i.e. without
advertisment window on right site, which was irritating, as taking a
place...
So Thank you one more time!!!
Have a nice day! and Take Care!
