Using Windows Vista Home - sudden email problem for no reason.
can receive.
cannot send.

error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'mail.melissasigler.com', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Anyone know what to do about this problem?
 
Ok is this something that worked and now stopped or has it not worked at
all?
This sounds like there is a setting problem in how the mail servers in
WinMail
are set. I would double ck w/your ISP, I assume that is Comcast.
Some providers require certain things cked others don't. Good luck.

Comcast has started requiring users to change their outgoing port numbers,
but has been rather poor at telling their users in advance.

I also have the same problem I can receive but not send an e-mail thru
broadband. I have broadband thru Quest. and I cannot send an e-mail at all
thru windows mail. I couldn't thru MSN either so I cancelled that bill. Any
one tell me how to fix it let me know. Thanks FREDA

Hi Melissa,
I just started having the same error message. My Windows Vista Home version
of mail worked just fine until two days ago when I was no longer able to send
any emails out. I have five emails that are now stuck and cannot get mailed
out. I can receive but cannot send. I am able to use Webmail through
Comcast just not the Windows mail. Have you straightened out your problem
yet? Have you tried getting some help from Comast?
 
Apparently this is a Comcast problem. I had the exact same error message
when all of a sudden I could no longer send out emails from Vista mail. I
fixed it by following the directions as specified at the Comcast Website that
addresses this specific problem. The Outgoing Mail SMTP has to be changed
from 25 to 587. Also it is important to check the My server requires
authentication box and have the same settings as incoming mail. This worked.
The Comcast website was very helpful. Check it out!
 
I am having the same problem. My yahoo.com email works fiine, but am having
problems sending pictures from windows, my web cam, and my hotmail
(Windows)email. I keep getting "server pop3 un known." I remember setting
something the first day but forgot where it was. If you find the answer let
me know. This is week 2 with my new labtop and want to learn the right way.
Tried calling Microsolf, but they wanted 69 dollors to tell me the answer.

Star a new thread and post and describe all error messages as per verbatim. You are
hijacking some other persons post and getting an answer to yours will not be
forthcoming as fast .
So start a new post of your own
 
That's not the same problem.
If you need a workaround for that problem, please start a new thread.
