Message #5 on the server is probably corrupt.
Go to the webmail site, log on, and delete it.

That's because you have a 'stuck' email on the server, which is not
allowing the total download to complete. When a download doesn't
complete, the server doesn't delete any downloaded messages.
On subsequent downloads, the same message(s) will download.

In your browser go to http://webmail.twcny.rr.com and delete the 5 oldest
messages. Then try Windows mail again.

I have had the same problem for months. Isn't there a more permanent fix
other than having to delete the messages?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Do not reply with email

It remains to be seen if you have the exact same problem.
Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without that complete error message.

Make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication must be checked.
