outlook express send problem

[03z06]

I have started having problems while sending email, whether new mail or
replies. OE will place the message in the outbox, attempt to send then the
error box comes up. No description of error but says 0 of 1 tasks complete.
The mail stays in the outbox, does not get sent to teh sent box, but IS SENT.
then when the send/recieve function goes again, the email gets sent again,
but with the same error window and 0 of 1 task complete. any ideas?

TIA

When i start outlook it starts the send receive tasks. Receive is ok.
It tries to send something. There is nothing in the outbox. It will error
out and give the 0x80042109 unable to connect to your outgoing (smtp) email
server.
Also when i compose and send an email it automatically goes to out box it
didnt do this before. It never is succesfully sent, i cannot send email from
outlook. i have looked at my smtp and pop3 settings from my isp comcast.net
and it looks correct. comcast does not support outlook only oe.
thanks for your help

Can you use a command prompt window to telnet to the server and port? Open
a command prompt window and enter

telnet <server> <port>

where <server> and <port> are, respectively, the name of the server and the
number of the port Comcast provides. What do you see?
