I just installed Live Mail on 7 Home Premium with a single pop3 account (and a news server), and it gets new messages correctly both when starting and when I select "send and receive" (F5). However, the timed automatic "check for new messages" function fails every time. It returns an error panel without any details - merely the absence of a tick or cross against the entry - and WindowsLiveMail.log contains just a single line or entry for each occurrence:

[09:37:14.47] 08d8                 Mail:            Zone_MailChk ERROR: (spengine.cpp:1035), failed with 0x80004005

I have tried adding a second pop3 account and in such a case the first account to be checked returns the error while the second account completes successfully.

Is there a solution or explanation for this?
