Can Receive but Can't Send in Windows Mail

Until a few days ago I was able to receive and send mail in Windows Mail. I
am still receiving mail but can't send. I have checked the settings (25,
110) and they are correct. Checked the authentication settings and it is
checked as well as use same as incoming mail. I have turned off my
anti-virus and firewalls and it still won't work. HELP!!!!!

If SMTP settings are correct, and you are logged into THAT server - the
one for which the settings have been configured - but still cannot send,
I suggest a call to your ISP.

Thanks I will give Comcast a call. Can't wait to see how they deal with this
issue...

I believe Comcast uses 587 for the outgoing (SMTP) port.

Just a quick note to say that I can send mail directly from the Comcast server.

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

Try putting a check mark for "My server requires authentication".

I have that check mark selected, and then the setting is set to use the same
authentication userid and password as the incoming.

Magically, after 3rd reboot with no changes to settings my mail was sent.
Very bizzare.
