Vista - Unable to send email..."Connection to Server has failed"

I get the message noted in the subject heading. My acct. is mail.comcast.net

Server is listed as smtp.comcast.net
Protocal is smtp
Port: 25
Secure (SSL) no
Socket error: 10060

Also states error # 0x800cc0E

I receive emails without any problems. Thanks for any assistance anyone can
provide.

Comcast made some changes in their email settings without telling
their customers. Follow these steps, beginning with step 10:

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than 25.

Did you follow the published instructions of your mail provider:

If you still get an error message, right-click on your error message, copy,
then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

That type of problem is usually caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
