Vista - cannot send mail

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'FUTURE WARIOR', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server:
'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800CCC0F
(This is the error that I get when I try to send mail.What can I do to
resolve this?I'm thinking about buying a MAC!)

sounds like you have the same problem as me.do you have to secure your
(ssl)go to tools ,accounts,then click properties and check the box saying
,Log on using secure password authentication.

<http://help.comcast.net/content/faq/How-to-configure-Windows-Mail-for-Vista-to-use-port-587-for-sending-email>

Comcast is gradually forcing all its users to switch to port 587, but
has been poor at telling the users this in advance.

No, Comcast does not use Secure Password Authentication.
However, "My server requires authentication" should be checked.
Those are two different settings. The first affects receiving, the second
affects sending.
