Regarding the send failure, go to Tools, Accounts, select that account,
Properties, Advanced, and unselect the SSL option for the outgoing
(SMTP) server.
It isn't obvious why the receive is failing. The receive settings are correct.
It is possible that the cause is interference from a non-compatible
antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
If turning off your antivirus email scanning function does not resolve
your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it
is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly intrusive antivirus
programs:

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
