I can receive mail but cannot send. I have been able to do both for 6 months
or more. Now it returns the following:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'pop.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
Hey Dave, I changed the port to 587, then this showed up (Partial):

Subject 'test', Account: 'Windows Mail', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.0 Authentication required', Port:
587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

On the Servers tab, make sure you check the box for "My server
requires authentication".
 
Thanks for the help everybody. The main problem was the port number. If
Comcast notified me, I can't find any proof of it. Johnny
