Comcast no longer uses port 25, they now use port 587.

How do i set up a microsoft email - I cannot do the SMTP or the POP3 - can I

You can't use a @microsoft.com email address unless you
are a Microsoft employee.

How did you use email before?
Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

The following error message for trying to send emails is coming up on mine as
well. I have changed the port from 25 to 80 and that has not made a
difference either. Any suggestions? Here is the error message I receive.

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'EXACTIMATE', Account:
'pop.earthlink.net', Server: 'smtpauth.earthlink.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
80, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Why did you change the port to 80? I did not tell you to do that.
