Have you tried to following settings:

Tools / Accounts / Comcast / Properties button...

Servers tab:
Incoming mail server: POP3
Incoming mail (POP3): mail.comcast.net

Check the box...

Advanced tab:
Outgoing mail (SMTP): 587
Incoming mail (POP3): 110

After making changes...always be sure to
left click...Apply / OK.

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
