| | Emails being deleted from my Comcast account Hi, I've had a Comcast account on this computer for over a month now and have never had any problems. All of a sudden two days ago, the emails in my inbox disappeared & turned up in the Microsoft Windows Inbox...and this happens daily. This is really a problem & I do not want to use Microsoft windows email AT ALL. I just want to be able to use the Comcast email in peace. I tried going to tools-account-advanced-properties-leave a copy of the message on the server, but this just created duplicates in the Windows email. Any ideas of what I can do? And to get the emails back to Comcast (I can't forward them or send emails from this account)? And why this started to happen out of nowhere? |

Forwarding the messages to yourself should make the forwarded versions appear on the Comcast site. Apparently you originally set up the Comcast Account in Windows Mail. If you prefer to send and receive e-mail from the Comcast website...you might try deleting the Comcast Account from Windows Mail. If you navigate to the screen shown in the following tutorial...you can remove the Comcast Account by clicking the Remove button.

| | Re: Emails being deleted from my Comcast account Thank you, John. I did not set up the account on this computer, so I"m really not sure how everything was set up initially. However, I do plan to remove the Comcast account from Windows email, but first I need the messages to be forwarded to my Comcast account. And this is the error message I get when I try to do so: The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider. The rejected e-mail address was 'newportcapital@xxxxxx'. Subject 'Fw: Marketing Plan', Account: 'George Oneal', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 Authentication required', Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78 Apparently it does not recognize my comcast account even though it is able to access the emails in the inbox from it....

Is the account setup as per the instructions in the tutorial I posted for you? Maybe the following article would be useful: Comcast - How do I verify my email settings in Windows Mail? http://tinyurl.com/2ww495 Note on the "Server" tab...the article states... Check..."My server requires authentication" Does your account have that box checked?
