Frank,

You are correct Comcast does use port 587, but I have configured my Comcast
account to use this port and still no luck sending email. I am able to
receive.

Here is the error message I receive:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Birthday present from my
dad', Account: 'Comcast', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
587, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
