windows mail can send not receive

My husband is having trouble with his e-mail. It has worked fine until
recently. I have browsed the posts here, downloaded the "fix" and checked
settings. I am able to send e-mail, but now am not receiving any... I'm
not getting error messages at this moment - just not able to receive after
testing several times. I would appreciate any help you might offer.

If I click on home (default) I get this error message
Account: 'Home', Server: 'pop.embarqmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

I looked up setting on home computer (this one is a laptop) and changed the
incoming to 110 and outgoing to 587 and I got this massage

problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the

I got the settings from my ISP provider and now I get this message:

open the Windows Address Book. Unable to find WAB DLL
