I'm hitting the following errors trying to send and receive email.. I talked
to att support and they 'cleaned up' the servers as some were pointing to
some old sbc servers. Here are the two errors:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10013, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

The connection to the server has failed. Account:
', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3,
Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10013, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

using yahoomaiil works just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Your settings in Windows Mail are correct. Something is preventing
WM from connecting to the mail servers. Are you running any third party
security software (antivirus, anti-malware, anti-spam, firewall, etc.)?

Since you are using a different server, you can't possibly se the same
error.

Please post any error message in its entirety. You can left click on it to
highlight and then right click to copy and then paste it into this thread.
