I am not a IT Geek, new to vista, could someone please explain how to use and
sign in using windows live email? I have a comcast email connection and would
like to set the my email settings.... I don't have a clue! I miss using
Outlook....
Thanks
 
I have entered everything as published but still I am unable to send
messages.... this is what I get. Should the port number be different? This is
the default one.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
Those directions say to use port 587 for the outgoing (SMTP) server.
You have port 25, so change it.
 
Hi there, I just changed it to 587 and my mail got sent! Gary thank you very
much!!!!!!
Do you work for mircosoft? I see your name alot and you really know your
stuff!
 
You're very welcome. Thanks for reporting back.
I'm retired, and I do not work for anyone. :-)
