Setting Up Windows Mail

[NormaH]

I am having trouble setting up windows mail. This is the message I get "The
connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Hello', Account: 'Work',
Server: 'pop3', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

I don't know what to enter when I go into accounts & properties. I have
Time Warner Cable internet and I am working off of a laptop.

What is the part after the @ in the email account that you are attempting to
set up?
You need to enter the correct server names for POP & SMTP servers @
tools>accounts>select the account>properties>server tab.
Get back if you need more assistance?

See for Time Warner server settings:

You need to call them and get the account settings. Pop3 is not a server
name.

Your provider has the answers, see:

Roadrunner's mail server names vary by locality. The format for the
server names is:
Outgoing: smtp-server.xx.rr.com
Incoming: pop-server.xx.rr.com
where xx is the same locality code as in your xx.rr.com email address.
