This problem just started yesterday. I can receive, but not send. I see
others are having this problem too. Is everyone using Vista? The message
I'm getting is:

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

Check out the following:

Comcast no longer uses port 25, they now use port 587.
Tools>accounts>your account>properties>advanced tab.

See the link for all the account settings:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ/FaqDetails.ashx?Id=2288
 
Comcast is doing the port 25 shutdown gradually, by
geographic area.
But it doesn't hurt to switch to port 587 immediately.

: I followed the link under the posting for the comcast issue,
finally my sending is working. Do follow it
 
IT WORKED! HOORAY!!! However, I did need to make this adjustment on every
account under Vista.
