Vista - Cannot Send Outgoing Mail in Vista Windows Mail Personal Edition

There's an obvious conflict between those two Comcast help pages.
Not having Comcast myself, I have no way to test which one is correct.
I suggest Comcast users try both sets of settings, and report back
as to which one works.

Change the SMTP port to 587 on the Advanced tab and check the box in the
Outgoing section on the Servers tab "My server requires authentication".

Double check ALL account settings.

I too have been having the same error. All my info is filled out correctly in
the servers and ports. On comcast help, firewall settings were mentioned, so
I adjusted them but still have no luck sending emails.

Try this:


1. Go to the Vista start menu and type cmd
2. The search results will display a program titled cmd
3. Right-click on the link and select "Run as administrator"
4. type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" without
the quotatioin marks
5. Test your POP account and see if you can now download your mail.
6. If nothing changes, reenable the autotuning feature by typing
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal"
