0x800CCC0E Error

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.bigpond.com', Server:
'mail.bigpond.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have gone through and double checked all my settings with what they should
be and still giving this error. This was working a few days ago on this same
computer and have not made any changes so I am really confused.

Hope someone can help

Thanks

Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
or Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

No I am not running any incompatible third party security software.

I cannot find another reason for the "connection to the server has failed"
error. I contacted the mail.bigpond.com server and it worked fine for me.
Something is interfering with your connection to the mail server.
I assume that your web browser is working, or else you would have
mentioned that.
