Default Windows Mail stopped connecting to the server

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Vista x64 Ultimate

overnight windows mail stopped connecting to the server.

I installed C# express, VB Express, Python 2.6, and VB6 run times last
night. I've tried disabling all virus scanning on the off chance that was
blocking itbut no luck.

Anyone got any ideas?

The error "unexpectedly terminated" is usually caused by interference
from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled
and replaced with a more compatible one.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons

As a possible temporary fix, delete that corrupted mail account,
restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.
