This is the error I get. Previously I could send email - now I can't.
Nothing had changed such as provider, etc.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'withdrawal', Account:
'mail.comcast.net (1)', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked

Hello, was there an update notification that went out about this change? I
have been extremely frustrated in trying to find out why all of a sudden I
can receive emails, but can not send. This post was very helpful, but would
have liked to know prior to the change.

Like most cable companies, Comcast is very poor about supporting
the Internet side of their business.
