Check out the following:

Comcast no longer uses port 25, they now use port 587.
Tools>accounts>your account>properties>advanced tab.

Do you get an error message when you try to send? If so,
right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into
a reply here.

Is your Yahoo account a free one or a paid one?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only,
no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not
webmail.
