Cannot send email

[mtoddski001]

Email has always worked fine until today, when I received the following
message.

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

I followed the troubleshooting solutions in the help file, but nothing works.

Change the SMTP port to 587 and make sure: My Server Requires
Authentication is checked.

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

Try the super secret Comcast port 587 setting...
follow the last steps... starting with 10.

You're welcome. [You think Comcast would give their customers a hint?]
