Error Number: 0x800CCC17 when trying to set up Vista Mail??

I am trying to set up Vista Mail with my MS Live and Yahoo email accounts,
yet I keep getting these error codes, please assist me. I have a notion it
has to do with the incoming and outgoing server information.

Thanks :)

Error codes:

Account: 'pop.live.com', Server: 'pop.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC17

Account: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC17

Pop.live.com doesn't use port 110. Use port 995 with SSL for the incoming
server. The complete settings are given here:

Is your Yahoo account a free one or a paid one? US-based free
Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay for premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:
