Comcast started changing the SMTP port from 25 to port 587 some time ago and was supposed to notify all their customers. Make sure My Server Requires Authentication is checked as well.

How do I set up/configure Outlook Express for Comcast email?

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Don Willson', Server: 'SMTP.COMCAST.NET', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

One day Outlook and Outlook express were working perfectly, the next day I could not send.
I turned off Norton E-mail scanning, in and out.

Any suggestions.

Thanks
