Re: Setting Up Email

For Comcast, use these settings:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ...s.ashx?Id=2288

The mail server names can be changed by going to Tools, Accounts,
select that account, Properties, Servers.

Re: Setting Up Email

As I said below, in Windows Mail go to Tools, Accounts,
select your mail account, Properties, Servers.

Your mail service provider usually has a web page with instructions on
how to set up your email program.

I understand your Internet connection is being provided by BrightHouse,
but that doesn't necessarily pin down your email service. What is the
part of your email address after the @ symbol?
