A week or so ago, Windows Live Mail stopped working for me. I was unable to send or receive emails, and the problem still occurs. Also, when I try to delete some messages, Windows Live Mail simply stops responding. This has become a very annoying problem for me, as I have to go into my browser, and view/send my emails from Hotmail. This is the first time I have ever encountered this problem. Any insight would be appreciated.

Have you tried a system restore to a few days before the problem began?

Have you considered one of the many other fine email clients such as Thunderbird?

Actually, it appears that I can receive emails now. No idea how it happened, but it worked. Sending them is still a problem though. Also, I haven't made a system restore point for a while now.
When I look at the bottom left of the window, it says "Connecting..." and "Working Online", instead of the usual message (Can't recall what it was). I just might switch clients.

Sounds like the problem may be with the email provider; maybe a problem with their servers.
Try another client, at least as a test.

Doubt it with hotmail.
Have you tried redoing the account?
Maybe a change in server happened.

Patonb could very well be correct with the servers. It was my intention that changing clients, would answer 2 questions; problem with the server or problem with your client.

It is..... pop.east.cox.net ....... not .....pop3.east.cox.net
That is why it says " The host 'pop3.east.cox.net' could not be found. " There is no such incoming host.

Adding....
To change the incoming server name .....
There is a slight difference in procedure between Windows Live Mail 2009 and 2010 versions.
I am giving the 2009 version procedure :
Open WLM > Tools > Accounts > highlight your cox.net account > Properties > Server tab... there you can change the Incoming Mail(POP3) to pop.east.cox.net
