RE : Comcast
The outgoing server is port 587 , not port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked

Wrong port number. Make sure your settings agree with:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ/FaqDetails.ashx?Id=2288

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
Although those instructions were written for Outlook Express,
Windows Mail uses the same settings.
