Have been trying to set up Outlook on my new laptop. I'm sure everything is properly configured for gmail. When I run the settings self-test, it will do everything but send the test message. It says my e-mail address field is incorrect, but it isn't. I've contacted Comcast. They had no clue.

I'm thinking this may have to do with wireless? I have a Netgear router. A secured connection. But it doesn't even work when I have the laptop docked.

Thoughts?
