the message error reads:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: ', Account:

I did the basic updates that Gary always suggests and it said it does not
apply.

As I read these posts, did not Gary tell you comcast has a different Port for smtp?

I have just been reading Gary's replies to other people and I don't think I
saw one for Comcast. Do you have that info?

thanks so much

I think I figured it out! For some reason I now have 2 accts and one outgoing
port was set at 587, the other at 25 - so I switched the 25 to 587 and it
works.

Thanks for the nudge!
