My Windstream email comes to my Windows Live email account. When I hit "Send/Receive: I get this message below. I am able to receive emails but first I get this error message, then usually the emails will come through eventually. Anybody know what is wrong? I am running Windows 7.

Has this account ever worked since you set it up in this new WLMail account? Note what I highlighted in bold in your question. I don't believe the "3" should be included in the account setting.
- Windstream POP3 incoming mail server: pop.windstream.net
- Windstream SMTP outgoing mail server: smtp.windstream.net
