Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail Send/Receive Problem

I was using Vista Mail on my Vista Home Premium X64 machine for severa
weeks. The computer is less than a month old. Yesterday I uninstalle
McAfee, which had the SPAM filter thing auto installed in Windows Mail
Now I can no longer send or receive e-mail in Windows Mail. This is th
error I receive

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible cause
for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period o
inactivity. Account: 'pop.bizmail.yahoo.com', Server
'pop.bizmail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes
Error Number: 0x800CCC0

After removing McAfee via Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs, I'v
followed the advice in other threads and downloaded the MCPR.exe McAfe
removal tool and that hasn't changed things. I've tried running th
McAfee tool several times and that hasn't changed things either (th
McAfee removal tool indicated it was successful and that I would need t
reboot, which I did). I tried deleting the account and adding it again
I tried setting up a new account in Windows Live Mail (which cam
installed on my computer) and I have the same error in Windows Liv
Mail

I never used Windows Live Mail before until today when I tried it as a
alternative to Windows Mail. I do have Thunderbird installed and I ca
send/receive e-mail fine from that without any problems. Please help

[Add/Remove Programs, in Vista?]

Why did you uninstall your anti-virus application when you only needed to
disable its email scanning component?! What AV app is installed now?

Did the McAfee application come preinstalled on the computer when you bought
it? How about a Norton application?

 

The error messages don't reveal any incorrect settings.

Besides McAfee which you have uninstalled, are you running any
other third party security software, such as a firewall?

To narrow down the nature of this problem, try installing a different mail
account. If you currently don't have a Gmail account, apply for one here:
http://mail.google.com
Then enable your Gmail account for POP:

Then set up that Gmail account in Windows Mail:

Let us know if that works.
