Default Unable to send e-mail

NO

Just spent a frustrating hour with Concast who instsit that the inability
I
have to receive emails via Outlokk Express is due to an update that
Microsoft
did either to Outlokk Express or to Windows XP or to the secuity settngs.

This happens on two PCs, both Windows XP. Doesn't matter if virus
protection on (tried it both ways). I have already changed my port
setting
to 587. Did that two weeks ago and everything was fine, then this morning
(12/13) the following error shows up:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes
for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'feld hell contest', Server: 'mail.comcast.net',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Comcast says since I can retrieve emails from the web (at comcast.net)
then
it is not their problem. Does Microsoft have an answer?

I aprpeciate your time.

Hi:
I can receive any e-mail this morning. However, I'm NOT able to send
any
of my e-mail, seeing the following 'error' message popping-up after few
hesitation.

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.comcast.net',
Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

How to remedy this problem? I need to e-mail this morning.

Thanks for your help in advance.
