Can not send e-mails through Windows Mail

[Donna]

My email provider is Comcast.net. I followed their guidance in setting up a
Windows
Mail account. I managed to transfer my indox but not my messages sent, and I
am unable to send messages from my Windows Mail account. The error message
that I get is:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server:
'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't you recently post the same issue about 1and1?

Did you previously use webmail with Comcast?
A POP account can only download messages that are in the server's
Inbox folder. If you need to download the Sent messages from the
server, try moving them from the Sent folder to the Inbox folder.

As for the error message, go to Tools, Accounts, select that account,
Properties, Advanced. Change port 25 to port 587. Then go to the
Servers tab and make sure "My server requires authentication" is
enabled.

The 1 and 1 issue was not mine. It was a prvious question that was asked
previously by someone else. The question I have is:
