I have been using Windows Live Mail with my Yahoo mail account via POP for quite some time now with no problems.  In the last 3-4 days I can't get any new email messages to download.  I have tried updating the settings, have verified settings are correct, removed the email set-up and then recreated (and lost some older email messages in the process and then had it download all of the messages from the Yahoo server).  Once it is done with the initial download though I keep getting the message below.  I would really like to resolve this. 

 

When you click the Send/Receive button in WLM it pops up the Windows Live Mail connection box and it seems like it is working until it get halfway on the green status bar and then stops responding.  It then errors out with the following message.

 

Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo (XXXXXXX) account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com'
