Outlook 2003 and Windows Mail does not send or receive emails, using Vista

I have been using Microsoft Outlook 2003 for my pop email for years, yesterday it asked for my password and I typed it in, error message comes up stating my username or password have been rejected.
I know I have the correct password because I can check my email online and I also installed Eudora and can check my email (pop account).
I have tried the secure servers and secure password, and visa versa... no luck this error is also occuring with Windows Mail (part of Vista)
I use sbcglobal.net, pop.att.yahoo.com and smtp.att.yahoo.com are my servers.
could it be a bad windows system file? I have tried reinstalling Office 2003, no luck.
HELP!

Thanks for the quick response, on your #2 when I run CMD as admin and type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll i get the following error (see attachment)

You can skip the inetcomm.dll file and move on to next step.

Then I have done all your steps, except #8, which I dread to do because I know it's not going to get me anywhere.
I just think it's something to do with the operating system or Office install, it works with Eudora POP but not Outlook or Windows Mail POP.

Make sure your firewall is not blocking Windows Mail or Outlook.
