Don't apply fixes randomly unless you know for sure they apply to your problem.
The experts here are glad to advise you, just ask.
When one email message keeps downloading every time you check the mail,
it means there is a stuck message on the mail server. Use the webmail
access (with your browser) to go to your mailbox on he server. Delete any
old or unwanted emails, then try Windows Mail again. Let us know if you
need more help.
I have done this many times to no avail. I delete the repeated email the
empty the deleted file but it skill gives me this error message and will not
bring in any new mail. I am sending and receiving mail through the server
but Windows Mail is inoperable. The error message is:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.frontiernet.net',
Server: 'pop3.frontiernet.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
I would really appreciate advice.

THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION. All this time I was looking to MS Mail for the
answer and my help came from my ISP! I was on help and she took over my
computer and clicked and clacked and it came back!
It takes a community!

Hopefully you are aware of what changes the ISP rep made to your system.
It looked to me that were using a port that your ISP does not support (995).
