Windows mail error code 0x800ccc90

Anonymous

Up until now I am not able to send/receive messages from my windows mail account. When I went to bed lst night it was fine. When I hit the send/receive button I get the following "Please verify that both the username and password are correct for your mail server". Nothing has been changed since I turned off my pc last night. Can someone please tell me why this is happening all of the sudden?

I have read similiar posts to my issue, it doesn't seem that the prior posts were any assistance.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

The error code 800ccc90 indicates "IXP_E_POP3_RESPONSE_ERROR" which assentially means that there was a invalid response recieved from the pop3 server. This might be a temporary issue with the mail server. Since the username and password has not changed and no changes had been made on teh client end, it is recommended that you wait for sometime and if the error continues contact the mail server support. Also you may want to check for any other errors reported in eventvwr.

TIP: Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It may be causing the error & provides no

I have the same error 0x8000CCC92 and Live Mail Error 8x800CCC90. I tried accessing my yahoo account from windows mail. I have had to change my password 3 times and now I can not access it at all. I then added another yahoo account with the password. My first account email address was yahoo.com.au everything was fine until I put the wrong password in and resulting in changing it. But now the email address I am using logs in to yahoo7.com with the new password but it is not working on Windows Live Mail for both accounts. I don't know what to do and my original account has a lot of important things in it that I can't delete. Can anyone please help me with this. My name is Maxine
