This problem just started happening in the past week. No changes to account
settings, firewall, network etc.



Connecting to a POP3 mail server, I'm now unable to connect and retrive
email. Receive the following error:

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

Server: 'pop.xxx.yyy.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

Sending email shows the same problem:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity.

Subject 'Test'
Server: 'smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes

Are you scanning your in and outgoing emails? Disable the email scanning by
uninstalling your AV and then re-installing it without the email
integration(scanning). Sometimes just disabling it will not take or do

You incoming server is Server: 'pop.xxx.yyy.com' ?

I suspect it is actually 'pop.bizmail.yahoo.com' (based on the SMTP
server name).

I'm synchronizing two accounts, one is hotmail (working fine) and the second
one started encountering the same problem (0x8000CCC0f) few weeks ago after
working fine. This must be something local on the machine as I set up the
same configuration on another machine and it is working fine.
The faulty machine: XP SP3, Symantec end point protection 11.0

Windows Mail doesn't do Hotmail unless your Hotmail account
happens to have POP access.

MartyJ started this thread. Their error said Windows Live Mail Error ID:
0x800CCC0F.
I don't know who Yuval is.
There is no mention of WM.

I was mistakenly under the impression that "Yuval" was using
Windows Mail. Yuval, please disregard my comment.

Tried disabling AV to no avail

A couple of more tidbits ...

- The same account settings work fine in Thunderbird
- I have another POP account in WLM that works fine
- The key difference between the 2 accounts is that the "failing" account
uses SSL, the "good" account does not
- Both accounts are hosted on Yahoo - The "failing" account is a business
account through Yahoo's web hosting service. The "good" account is a Yahoo
Premium personal email account.
- I tried deleting and re-adding the "failing" account in WLM. Same problem
after the account was recreated.

Any other thoughts ... ??

Which AV is it? You might try a temporary uninstall to see if that
implicates the AV as the culprit. Just 'disabling' an AV often does
not stop all of its pervasive activities.
