Resolved live mail gives error 0x800CCC0F

Using newly installed upgrade to Windows 7 home premium edition over Vista. Can’t download mail.

When I search internet for error message, I see many people having this same problem but I don’t see an answer. I can download the msg with gmail and yahoo mail. it has photos, which may be live mail's problem.

My message: (Server at pop.att.yahoo.com)

Unable to send or receive messages for the pop.att.yahoo.com account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

Setting up a Yahoo! Mail account in Windows Live Mail

link:

says it's not available.

 

Looks like it's being truncated by the WindowsBBS software.

Thanks. This link apparently works. However, I had already given up and went to a Google mail account on my own. I rellized after your email that windows email began in google. I pulled my hair out importing my contacts, but finally made it. Your link looks a lot easier, but alas, I went on my own.

I now have email. You'd think Microsoft would upgrade the live mail. I think it has a nice interface, but if it won't download large files, what good is it?

 

Good to hear the problem's been solved.
