Configure Outlook 2000 email
I am currently using Outlook 2000 for email. My current ISP, Road Runner, is
being acquired by Comcast. I have attempted to configure Outlook to receive email from Comcast, but to avail. Comcast prefers that I use port server number 587 instead of 25. How do I configure Outlook to accept port server 587? Comcast does not support Outlook 2000; instead they prefer that I use Outlook Express. What do you suggest I do to continue using 2000? Thank you,

Configure Outlook 2000 email
In Outlook you go to Account Properties\Advanced and change the port to 587 there.
If Comcast does not support Outlook then there is a reason for it. Have you asked. Unfortunately I have no idea about Comcast so I cannot help you there. Possibility is that their mail is IMAP format -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Configure Outlook 2000 email
Leesha,
Try using Port "465" w/o quotes, and make sure that you check the box for SSL connection, on the advance settings tab for your Comcast account. -- Have A Good Day Rich/rerat Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "Leesha" wrote in message ...
