Setting up email

[Sharrone]

I am getting this error, I called comcast, and they said I have everything
right. I can receive mail but cannot send mail. Thanks

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account: 'Windows
Mail', Server: 'SMTP.COMCAST.NET', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Especially the port numbers to use, point 14
