I When I try to send a message on Outlook Express I get the foolowing error message:

"The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'postoffice.comcast.net', Server: 'comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

How can I correct my system so I can use Outlook express?

I am currently using Internet Express as my default program.

Web based email like hotmail do not work with outlook express.

Russ, contact Comcast to verify your OE mail server settings. I am not familiar w/Comcast, but I suspect you inadvertently clicked (set) the OE setting.. see below.

Are either of the (2) lower boxes checked?
