IMAP Headers Download Won't Complete

Trying to setup an IMAP client with Frontier email account. Al goes well until it begins downloading the headers for the first time. After 137 of 1000+ are downloaded from the inbox it fails with the following message.

What's causing this?
Thanks

OS: Windows 8
eMail Client: Windows Live Mail 2012

Error:
Could not download new messages from the IMAP server.

It is my understanding that Frontier is still kind of hit or miss when it comes to IMAP. Because Frontier partnered with Yahoo for email IMAP doesn't work so well.
Try using their normal pop3 set up.
pop3.frontier.com on port 995 with ssl
smtp.frontier.com on port 465 with ssl

It was a pain in the butt for a minute but I got mine to work when I switched over to Frontier.
