i have just had a new HP computer ,and scanner etc installed the stupid
thing
won't allow me to save or send scanned items thru hotmail yahoo gmail etc

Windows Mail won't work with free Yahoo accounts directly. You need to
either pay for the Plus service or use YPOP in between Windows Mail and the
Yahoo servers.

Hotmail just turned POP access back on, after it was off for several years.

Gmail works fine, you just have to set it up. Their directions are pretty
clear, and include directions for Windows Mail with screenshots.
Start here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=86382

Click on the links at 1 and 2 to get to these pages:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13273

and
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86383

And you'll be good to go in just a few minutes.

Of course, you have to actually *have* a gmail account to do this. You have
to set that up separately.
If you don't have one, go here:
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about.html

and click on "Create an Account".


-i
am really annoyed aBOUTthis and having been struggling to send important
documents i bought the damn thing for -how do I let HP know the pinheads

HP has nothing to do with what's required for you to connect a mail client
with a mail server.


-and
what can i do to overcome this

See above. The same directions apply to Windows Live Mail, and similar
steps work with other POP clients such as Thunderbird.

A previously functioning Windows mail account now won't send mail.
I've tried fixes suggested in the help screens by opening properties,
changing authentication, etc. Nothing has worked. Here's the error
message.
Means absolutely nothing to me.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'pop.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Could it be related to Comcast's changeover?
