Hi Tina,
Your user name and password are used for authentication (Incoming POP3). Some mail systems also use these for sending mail (Outgoing SMTP). Do not use Secure Password Authentication (SPA). -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "Tina Miller" wrote in message ... This is the error message that I'm getting...

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. "Jim Pickering" wrote in message ...

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. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 "Tina Miller" wrote in message ...
