Hi,

Here is the message I am receiving:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'pop-server.cfl.rr.com', Server:
'pop-server.cfl.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error

Thanks

The error "unexpectedly terminated" is usually caused by interference from
an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running? Some of them
cause problems with Windows Mail over time. As a minimum, email
scanning in the antivirus should be turned off, although that may not be
sufficient to eliminate all bad effects. In a worst case scenario, your
antivirus may need to be uninstalled/reinstalled or replaced. A free
antivirus that is 100% compatible is available here:

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons explained here:

As an alternative to replacing your antivirus, consider upgrading to
Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
