The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server:
'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

How do I fix this so i can receive incoming mail?

Hi Cliff,

Your POP3 server name and Port number are correct. You might double check the rest of your settings at Comcast's link below to see if the rest of your settings are correct to. Comcast requires that you have cookies enabled for this link, but it will show you how to check and adjust your settings if needed.

You might also check to see if you have a stuck "undeletable" message in one of your mailbox folders. Read the top portion at this link for more information and do the section for the folder that the stuck message is in.

This problem may be caused by your antivirus program.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or Norton
security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled.
Replace with a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:
