I'm getting Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E, Socket Error: 10060.

That simply tells us that WLMail was unable to connect to a server. Please click on the error message to select it, then use right-click to copy it and paste it into a reply here. There can be no troubleshooting without seeing the entire error message verbatim.

I have also been getting the same error code as follows - can anyone help

Server: 'mail.plus.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

Protocol: POP3

Port: 995

Secure(SSL): Yes

Socket Error: 10060
