Thank you, John. I did not set up the account on this computer, so I"m
really not sure how everything was set up initially. However, I do plan to
remove the Comcast account from Windows email, but first I need the messages
to be forwarded to my Comcast account. And this is the error message I get
when I try to do so:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
The rejected e-mail address was 'newportcapital@comcast.net'. Subject 'Fw:
Marketing Plan', Account: 'George Oneal', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 Authentication required', Port: 587,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78
Apparently it does not recognize my comcast account even though it is able
to access the emails in the inbox from it....
