Can send, but can't receive. error message pops up 0x80004005

Every time I open Windows Mail, an error message pops up. It says:

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server:
'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error
Number: 0x80004005


What is this? I really need to get emails in here!!
I am not a big computer person, so if possible, try and make the
instructions simple.

Thanks, please let me know!!

That's caused by a corrupt message on the server.
Go to http://mail.yahoo.com and log in with your AT&T credentials.
Then clean out all the folders in your webmail. If you want to save
any messages, create a new folder and move those messages to the
new folder. Empty the spam and thrash folders also. Close webmail, then
try Windows Mail again.

In addition to what Gary said, when you have WM open, go to tools
menu>options>General tab>remove the checkmark from send and receive at start
up>apply/OK
