smtp authentication must be set wrong

message can not be sent. the authentication setting might not be correct for
your computer. I can send all my emails except to one person, who also uses
comcast as the server. I've called comcast before and they deny they are the
problem even though my settings are spot on with what comcast wants.

Make sure that you do not have a typing error in that particular email
address?

RE: smtp authentication must be set wrong

how do you resent the authentication setting on your computer?

Re: smtp authentication must be set wrong

Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Servers,
"My server requires authentication."
If you need more help, post your complete error message.

Re: smtp authentication must be set wrong

You do not have the correct name for the outgoing (SMTP) server.
Change Charter.net to smtp.charter.net.
The complete setup instructions are here:
