My computer is doing the same thing, I changed the SMTP port to 587 and made
sure the Authentication was checked and it still doesn't work. Suggestions?

I don't think this will solve your immediate issue, but it is a necessary step:
Comcast made some changes in their email settings. Follow these steps:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ/FaqDetails.ashx?Id=2288

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
Although those instructions were written for Outlook Express,
Windows Mail uses the same settings.

If after making those changes the problem continues, let us know
which antivirus you are running. Some of them cause problems with
Windows Mail over time.
