Cant send or receive e-mails

[Mike]

Just started receiving this message :

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Fw: Her diary/His diary',
Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Change the SMTP port to 587 and make sure: My Server Requires
Authentication is checked. This applies to WinMail as well as OE.

How do I set up/configure Outlook Express for Comcast email?
