You should uncheck those two boxes you referenced.
Comcast does not use them. Under Advanced, the entries
should be:

Outgoing Mail (SMTP): 25

Incoming Mail (POP3): 110

Also, do not check "This server requires a secure connection"

Hello,

I have spent a few hours trying to set up Windows Mail. I have spoken with
Dell and Comcast to try and set up. I have also looked at the various
questions and answers other people have given and I am totally confused. Has
anyone else had this problem and can you help????

Here is the error message I receive. I have tried changing various setting
and here is what I have set

Under Servers Tab

Password - checked Log on using Secure Password Authentication

Checked Outgoing - My servers requires authentication

Under Advanced

Outgoing SMTP - 25
Incoming - 995

I have checked both boxes that my server requires authentication for both


Account: 'Kathy ', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '.', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
