Send one message to yourself. Does it appear in Sent Items? Does it
show on the Comcast Webmail site?

Yes, appears in the Sent box. Nope, doesn't show up at the Comcast
webmail site.

Check your settings.

Make the SMTP port 587 and make su My Server Requires
Authentication is checked.

All is as you suggest. SMTP is working fine, since all other mail, even
from other comcast senders, arrives fine. I can send from my Comcast
webmail to my OE, too, just not the other way around. Nothing gets
'stuck' in the Draft or Out box.

This is really a mystery to me, as it worked earlier in the day.

How do I set up/configure Outlook Express, Windows Mail & Windows Live
Mail for Comcast email?

It is confusing the way you explain it. I would be talking to Comcast
techs, but they probably won't be able to help. They are among the worst
tech support out there.

Check into your anti-virus and make sure you are not scanning e-mail.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.
