Windows Live Mail Error 0x800ccc0e

Hi there,

My windows live mail was working fine and then I logged on yesterday and I keep getting this message,

Unable to send or receive messages. The connection to the server has failed.
Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10061

I've been using the Windows live mail for my yahoo account for nearly a year and this is the first time it's happened.

If anyone can help I'd much appreciate it as logging into Yahoo all the time is a pain.

Y!Mail Plus requires $19.95 subscription per year.
You need that in order to configure Yahoo!Mail into Windows Live Mail.

Correct settings for Y!Mail Plus in WLM is :

Did you restart Windows Live Mail?


Edit:
I know you said it was working OK before, but just for the sake of it, it might also be worth just checking the set-up:

I did not explain clearly.

I was trying to tell you that Yahoo!Mail Plus is required in order to use it in Windows Live Mail. It is not optional.
