Please Help!!!

I have never been able to create working email addresses in Windows Mail,
even
though I enter the correct servers, etc. They always turn out as default.

Some time ago, I was able to create an account with the help of a Comcast
support clerk, and it had been working great. I had the same email account
in Comcast and Windows Mail.

Yesterday, I tried to open a second email account in Windows Mail and again
it turned out as default, and also turned my first account default. And now
I don't have any account that works at all.

Can someone please suggest how to fix this problem?
Thank you so much!!!

What's wrong with a default account? In Windows Mail, the main thing
different
about a default email account is that it's the one to use when sending a new
message produced with no indication of which is the correct account to use.

You may be missing a port number change that Comcast has started
requiring for some of its users, but not being very good at telling them
about in
advance.
