11/27/2015  For several weeks now, I've been getting the same error message on my desktop computer Windows 8.1, Using Windows live Mail when receiving mail. I have no issues Sending Mail, it only gets hung up Receiving Mail. And eventually, it will work, but I get the same error message over and over, until finally it downloads. I cannot find help anywhere else and have tried over and over. This is the exact message I get:
