OUTLOOK problem: Sending e.mail (not OL Express!)?
Hi! Today I can receive mail, but not send!
Getting this mssg:Task 'my email acct - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
I have not changed any settings and Comcast does not support Outlook, only OL Express. Windows XP, Comcast IP, works great all the time except for today! Please help!
T H A N K S
Update:Oh, and I CAN send from Comcast webmail, just not from my OUTLOOK.

Comcast won't support Outlook over the phone, but they ave plenty of information on their website about it. Some helpful links for the two most common versions of Outlook are:
Outlook 2003

if that doesn't work, use this:

Try changing the outgoing port to '587'. That worked for me. The default is '25'. That wasnt working for me. I then tried '465' which didnt work either.
So just try '587' if not that then try, '465'.
