Outlook email not working

I have a Dell computer running Windows XP. My broadband connection and email
is with Comcast. I attempted to make Outlook my default email application. I
followed all of the steps in the set-up wizard (I think) properly.

I then composed and sent 3 emails. The emails show in my Outbox and not in
my Sent box. What did I do wrong? I do not understand what the exchange
server is and am not confident what the POP or SMTP is.

Would appreciate some assistance on this as it is not obvious to me.
 
If you are with Comcast, you are not on an Exchange
server. You are on POP mail. For Comcast, your POP is
mail.comcast.net and your SMTP is smtp.comcast net.
First thing to do is check your Outlook email account
properties to make sure these settings are correct.
