Outlook express error message

[Carol]

An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'test',
Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800CCC0B

Comcast can't help me, and I can't find this error on MS
outlook web site. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Only happens for my comcast account, not for my other
email account. And I can receive email, but it won't
send email.

Delete the comcast account out of outlook express. Close OE. Reopen and
re-enter comcast account. See if it works now.

The error number implies that the server is busy.
0x800CCC0B BUSY Server or maildrop is busy
Try turning off email scanning in your AV application, and increasing
the server time out in Tools>Accounts>Mail>Properties>Advanced.

Zillions of Comcast subscribers have been having similar problems since late
February, Carol. Join the fray: http://snipurl.com/553j.

(I suspect Comcast's mail servers are somehow not in synch with the most
recent IE patch [MS04-004], as Mail Clients like Eudora aren't having any
problem downloading Comcast mail.)
