Unable to receive messages with pop.att.yahoo.com, error 0x800CCC19

Unable to send or receive messages for the Att (selowery1) account. A time-out occurred while communicating with the server.

Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC19
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): No

[Original subject: Does anyone know how to fix this?]

Answer
Answer

Protocol: POP3

Port: 995
Secure(SSL): No

Port 995 is the standard port for secured POP3. You will not be able to connect to a Yahoo POP3 server over an unsecured connection using port 995.

Right-click on the account name in the folder pane and select Properties. On the Advanced tab select This server requires a secure connection (SSL) for incoming mail, then click Apply and OK .
           
Remove any unsent messages from the outbox (below the account folders in the folder pane), then close down Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes while the program does its housekeeping and stores the new security settings. Then re-launch the program, compose a new test message with a unique subject and send it to yourself. Post any new error message in your reply.
