unable to receive emails using windows live mail

I am currently using Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail for emailing. Over the last couple of days I have been unable to receive messages. I can retrieve them off of the internet and on my phone but not through my laptop using WLM. I am able to send messages. The messages will begin to be retrieved from the server but will abruptly stop during the download. I get the following error message: Unable to send or receive messages for account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
