pop3 is not a valid server name, even though it is a valid protocol. Ask
your
email provider for their instructions for setting up to use their email
servers,
which should include the correct server names. If they haven't written
instructions for Windows Mail yet, their instructions for Outlook Express
should also work under Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP
protocol.
Many people choose their internet providers as their email providers also,
since
most internet accounts include one or more email accounts. The instructions
are probably somewhere on their web site. Or, you could tell us who your
email provider is, and see if anyone here already knows where to find their
instructions.

"pop3" is not the correct server name.
You need to check the email help page on the website of your email account
provider to find the correct server names and settings.

I am having the same problem as KWilliams, it started last night and so far
nothing has helped. My email provider is "cablemt". I'm not a computer whiz
so go slow with how to fix the problem. Thanks

I just called my e-mail provider and they said there was a tornado in Kearny,
NE. and if your provider is in Ne., that is why the error keeps coming up.

Which cablemt?

Anyway, it looks like neither of them offers suitable instructions on their
web site, so you may have to contact the right one by some other
means, such as webmail, and ask them if they even support email
connections other than those using webmail.

No, that's not the reason.
