| Guest | Re: Email Set Up in Vista using Comcast Server You should uncheck those two boxes you referenced. Comcast does not use them. Under Advanced, the entries should be: Outgoing Mail (SMTP): 25 Incoming Mail (POP3): 110 Also, do not check "This server requires a secure connection" -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "KM" wrote: Hello, I have spent a few hours trying to set up Windows Mail.

| Guest | Re: Email Set Up in Vista using Comcast Server Thanks for the quick reply however, I am still struggling. Here is my new error message, Account: 'Kathy ', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR login failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92 I unchecked under servers log on using secure password and in outgoing my server requires authentication. In advanced I unchecked both outgoing and incoming "this server requires a secure connection. Is there anything else I could try? -- Thanks.

One thing I would stress is that you make one change at a time then test it so you can tell what does or doesn't work. Ignore my suggestion until you've tried Carey's advice. .. > -- > Thanks.

| Guest | Re: Email Set Up in Vista using Comcast Server Instead of just trying a bunch of different settings randomly, why not use the ones your ISP tells you to use: http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/inde...=Emailtop17686 Gary VanderMolen "KM" <KM@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C9842CFF-4348-421A-8EEF-AC5CCF5BFFD3@microsoft.com... > > Hello, > > I have spent a few hours trying to set up Windows Mail.

| Guest | Re: Email Set Up in Vista using Comcast Server under the server tab, have you tried supplying your full email address where it asks for "E-mail User Name" ??? IOW, something like Kathy@xxxxxx ?? That just did the trick for me. "KM" wrote: Quote: > Thanks for the quick reply however, I am still struggling.
