Unable to send or receive with Gmail account, error 800CCCD1

My windows Live Mail 2011 will not let me in.  I'm on Windows 7. I get the following messages:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Gmail (*****) account. Header download for the 'Inbox' folder did not complete. The operation was canceled by the user.

Is this a Live Mail issue?  I have no problem getting into my gmail account on my phone.

I wondered if it could be my password, but cant find any way to recover or change it

Can anyone help please?
