Error message relating to sending message- HELP PLEASE!

The connection to the server has failed. Account: '67.228.224.122 (1)', Server: '67.228.224.122', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E


ABOVE is the error message I am getting using Windows Mail- I can't seem to send or set up my account properly, even though it seems I have entered all the correct information.
Please help if you can.

Hi and welcome to Vista Forums!

Are you using a software Firewall or hardware Firewall that block TCP port 110?

I remember free avg does not have any kind of firewall, correct me if i'm wrong. Maybe Windows Firewall is blocking Windows Mail. Follow these steps:
1) Start, Control Panel
2)Protection
3)Allow Program With Windows Firewall
4)Look there and see if there is the check at "Windows Mail"
If there's not, check it.
