Comcast

by mi77915 Jul 31, 2011 7:10AM PDT

I have just installed Windows Live email client using multiple email providers (hotmail, gmail, and comcast). I am able to sent and receive emails on both the hotmail and gmail accounts. However, I am able to receive emails from comcst, but I cannot send emails from my comcast account. I get the following error:

The message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured. To find the server settings for 'tblodgett15@comcast.net', please contact your email service provider.Subject 'From Dad'Server Error: 550Server Response: 550 5.1.1 Not our CustomerServer: 'SMTP.comcast.net'Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC79Protocol: SMTPPort: 25Secure(SSL): No

Any help?

Thank you,

Tom

Sounds proper.

If I try to use my comcast account from a wifi connection that is not on comcast, that happens. It also happens if a setting is wrong *(which one>?)
