Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com (2)', Server:
'pop.prodigy.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Microsoft has this to say:

If this is an intermittent error, the Yahoo! mail servers have been
known to throw fits for AT&T (former SBC) customers.

If this is a consistent error, the first places to look would be:

Log in. Are you using your full " email address as the user
name? That is necessary for both POP3 and SMTP access.

Anti Virus email scanning. Do you have it enabled? Especially either
McAfee, or Norton? Those two are known to have conflicts with MSOE.
Disable them for email scanning; the "on-access" scanner will still
protect you.

Firewall. Are you using a third party firewall, such as ZoneAlarm? These
have outbound controls, and could be blocking access to your servers.
