It sounds as though you may have a damaged identity. Try creating a new
one, switch to it and set up the mail account in the new identity and test
it. If all works, you can import any mail messages from the older identity.

Look on the menu in Outlook Express: FileIdentitiesAdd New Identity.

I tried everything that you have just listed and I still cannot send
emails. I can recieve emails and send and recieve posts. Is there something
that I'm missing? I even talked to tech support at comcast and they pretty
much said the same thing that you just told me. The first link he gave me
was http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/inde...k_Express17739
the second link he gave me was http://www.comcast.net/security/ and the
third link he gave me was
http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/inde...sSoftware17506 . I
tried the first and third links, but they didn't help in finding a
resolution to my problem.

E-mail Settings for Comcast:


POP3 (Incoming Mail) Server: mail.comcast.net

SMTP (Outgoing Mail) Server: smtp.comcast.net

Your E-Mail address: e-mail

Port settings when on the Network: POP port 110 and SMTP port 25

Configure Outlook Express for the first time:

1. Open Outlook Express by clicking on the icon located on your desktop
or click the envelope icon wrapped with a blue arrow located on your
toolbar next to the Start button. If this is your first time launching
Outlook Express, the Internet Connection Wizard will open to guide you
through configuration. If you do not see this window, please proceed to
Reconfiguration of Outlook Express.
2. In the Internet Connection Wizard, type your name in the Display name
field as you would like it to appear when you send e-mail and then click
next
3. Enter your e-mail address in the field provided in the format:e-mail

4. Click next
5. In the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP or HTTP) server field
enter:mail.comcast.net
6. In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) field enter:smtp.comcast.net
7. Click next
8. Enter your username in the POP Account Name Field and your password in
the password field (If you do not wish to supply your password each time
you check for incoming mail, verify that the Remember Password box is
checked)
9. Click next and then select finish.

If you have any problems sending, click Tools/Accounts - Mail tab and
double click the Comcast mail account, then click the Server tab and you
will see a section for "Outgoing Mail Server" and put a check in the box
"My Server requires authentication" and then click the Settings button
and make sure to use the username and password assigned to you by
Comcast.

You will now receive any e-mail currently on the server.
