Vista - Windows Mail with Vista Program

I have had windows vista since January 2008. I was having trouble with
windows mail. I could not send or receive any e-mails. I called my provider
verizon and he walked me through a couple of things. Well it was working
fine for a short while. Sometimes the e-mail works and I am able to receive
my messages but most of the time it does not work. This is the message I
receive : Acount: 'incoming.verizon.net', Server: 'incoming.verizon.net',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19 . I
have no problem sending e-mails it is just receiving them. I am at a loss.

instead
of answering the phone. See if this helps you find such instructions:

Also, some antivirus programs and antispyware programs cause various
problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately. What if any
such programs do you have?

If you have the Google Toolbar program installed, uninstall it since it
also causes problems in Windows Mail. While doing this, also check
if you have a program with SMS in its name installed, and if so, tell us
the name.

I have Kasperksky Anti Viris and Webroot.

Anna, I had a similar problem, except that I could receive but not send. As it turned out, when I set up the account in Winows Mail, I misspelled the out-going e-mail server's name, ie. smpt instead of smtp. Perhaps you would check your account of the name of in-coming e-mail server. Please reply afterwards.
