Here's their instructions for Outlook Express. See if they contain the
correct
server names.

It looks like you left out the period (.) between "comcast" and "net" in the
Outgoing (SMTP) server name

smtp.comcast.net

and you have "pop3" in the Incoming (POP3) server name that doesn't
belong...

mail.comcast.net
