It depends on how your local Comcast has their servers set up. Some use
pop.comcast... others use mail.comcast...

After furious head scratching, Jeff asked:
| I'm on Comcast also and I use mail.comcast.net and mail.comcast.net

| pop.comcast.net? Jeff
| || Frosty,
|| Comcast is telling you stories again. I have comcast and I am using
|| Outlook
|| 2003 without any problems whatsoever. You can call them three times
|| and get
|| three answers to the same question. If you want additional help,
|| please let
|| me know. The key is the two server names for incoming and outgoing:
|| "pop.comcast.net" and "smtp.comcast.net".
