other email address that are pop3 not MES, since outlook won't connect
to our exchange server (reportedly because Comcast blocks the port)

Outlook Web Access uses the standard HTTP ports 80 and 443. Whether OWA
works or not has nothing to do with whether Outlook works or not, since they
don't access Exchange by the same method. Peter's correct. It's highly
unlikely that Comcast is blocking any ports because you're not using the
Comcast ports. Comcast blocks specific ports on their own servers and can't
control what ports are available on your company's servers. Your
assumptions are flawed.

Hmm, I see. Then what are possible reasons for this issue? Any fixes?
