I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I've been using Windows Live Mail for several years and would like to continue using it.  After upgrading to Windows 10, I've frequently been receiving the error message listed in the title to this posting.  The details of the error message are as follows:

This IMAP command could not be sent to the server before the connection was terminated.
Configuration:
   Account: Aim (********)
   Server: imap.aol.com
   User name: ******
   Protocol: IMAP
   Port: 993
   Secure(SSL): 1
   Code: 800ccc0f

After reading postings by other people having the same problem, I checked the SSL box for both incoming and outgoing mail and changed the timeout setting to 5 minutes.  I also called my ISP provider, but the person I spoke with wasn't able to figure out the problem. 

Can you think of anything else I can try?
