Server Host

[Rich]

When I try to send e-mail or attachments it comes up that server host cannot
be found, pop3.

"pop3" alone is not a full address, generally it would be 'mail.myisp.com'
or similar

Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

has been saved on microsoft works word processor but keeps saying host cannot
be found. Verify server name was entered correctly.

Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Comcast no longer uses port 25, they now use port 587.

Go to:
Tools>accounts>your account>properties>advanced tab.

You even managed to enter the incorrect server name.

It should be smtp.comcast.net ---Tools>accounts>your
account>properties>server tab.
