After clicking "SEND" my message goes into my "OUTBOX" and after a moment or
two I receive the following message:
"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'Test', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server:
'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"
Any advice?
 
Sounds like interference from a non-compatible antivirus.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton
security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, NOT just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like:

AVG free edition:

or
Avast free edition:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.

Click to expand...

Comcast's outgoing server is smtp.comcast.net on port 465 and "My server
requires authentication" should be checked.
