read them normally. When i hit send, it attepts to "process requested tasks",
but then returns with an error message 15 seconds later:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test message', Account:
'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
