The port number for sending mail with Comcast should be 25 and not 587.
Make sure that you do not have *ANY* antispam or antivirus program set to
scan email and reset the port under Tools/Accounts - Mail tab for the
Comcast account.

Hello:

I receive e-mail via my comcast account, but I am having difficulty sending.
I thought I saw this in here before, but cannot locate it again. Thanks for
your help...here is the error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.comcast.net',
Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have double checked my settings and they appear to be fine
