We tried that and it didn't change anything...sigh...what could it be?
Comcast insists that it is not at their end...the account actually works from
the Comcast.net mailbox, it just doesn't work from the Outlook
Express...that's why we were certain it was Outlook Express that could help
us...What should we do?

That is the whole error message...and thank you for the advice...

According to poster Alan, in 'microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general',
Comcast has recently changed their SMTP message submission port. Knowing
that they had long allowed access through port 25, and only blocked outbound
port 25 under special circumstances, I had to go and check the Comcast FAQ.
Apparently, they now *require* SMTP message submission access through port
587:

You can also look at this link for how to set up MSOE with a different port:

And this link to configure MSOE while traveling:
