I do recall updating comcast's support agent the other day and maybe that has
a bearing on the problem. I hadn't updated that program from my initial
installation until the other day.

My neighbor is having the same problem also with comcast. They claim it must
be a windows problem an they can receive using the comcast.net site. I've
tried Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird with the same results. What
makes this hard to understand is it's happening with two pc's in the house.
They also are using McAfee. Emails been fine for two years with comcast and
the problem just started about a week ago.
