Unable to send or receive messages with mail.twc.com, error 0x800CCC0F

I am having issues with sending/receiving mail. I am getting the below error:

Unable to send or receive messages for the this account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.  Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems or long period of inactivity.

Server: 'mail.twc.com'

Windows live mail error id: 0x800CCC0F

Protocol: pop3

Port 110

Secure (SSL): yes

My account settings are:

Incoming mail server: POP3

Incoming mail: mail.twc.com

Outgoing mail: mail.twc.com

log on using Secure password authentication is checked.

Outgoing Mail Server - My server required authentication is checked.

Advanced tab shows Outgoing mail port number 587, Incoming mail - 110

both boxes are checked for server requires a secure connection.

I was on the phone for a long time talking with Time warner and they said all of their server info is correct.

Please assist. 

Thanks, Cheryl
