Vista - Help with windows vista mail, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

For two days now I haven't been able to send or receive any emails.

I have contacted BT who are no help whatsoever! It is becoming increasingly
frustrating.

Every time I try and send or receive mail the following message appears

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'mail.b-safeusa.com', Server: 'pop.secureserver.net',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0F

Have tried the other things already mentioned in other answers!
Please help!

It may be Anti virus software... which do you use?

We've seen this problem before with GoDaddy's pop.secureserver.net.
Some older servers get confused by Vista's autotuning feature.
1. Click on the Vista start orb and type cmd
2. The search results will display a program named cmd.exe
3. Right-click on the link and select "Run as administrator"
4. After the command prompt window opens, type
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" without
the quotation marks, then press Enter.
5. Test your POP account and see if you can download your mail now.
6. If nothing changes, re-enable the autotuning feature by typing
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal"

Hope this helps.

I hope this helps.

Check to make sure that you have "My server requires authentication"
checked. See here for more help -
