I haven't been able to send email for a few days:

The connection to the server has failed

Server: SMTP.comcast.net
Error ID: ox800CCCOE
Protocol: SMTP
Port 25
Secure (SSL) No
Socket error: 10060

It's a new computer with Windows 7, and the email worked fine for the first 
week. What happened?

Change the SMTP port to 587 and make sure: My Server Requires 
Authentication is checked.

How do I set up/configure Outlook Express for Comcast email?

Applies to WLMail as well.
