0 anyfishwilldo Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 You possibly have your settings wrong. What is your email address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sandmannd Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Go to comcast's HSOforum and the suppoert area. It will tell you the settings to use. Had the problem and was fixed when you get all the settings done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 anyfishwilldo Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Go right here Outlook settings for Comcast . This should get you on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 eurolarva Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You need to go to Tools, then Accounts then add. Your incoming mail will be POP3 and you need to type mail.comcast.net and the outgoing will be smtp.comcast.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 upnorth Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Your ISP should provide you with every thing you need to setup your email on Outlook or Outlook express. If they didn't give it to you a quick call to them should get you what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GotOne Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 My wife is connected with the company she works for. I hooked into them for free. I really don't have the nads to ask them:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Whoaru99 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Generally, for POP3 accounts it's as mentioned... For incoming, mail.(service provider name).net For outgoing, smtp.(service provider name).net If you don't have an official account/mailbox on the server, it probably won't work.

0 upnorth Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 All you really need is the name of the email server. Mine is mail.mchsi.com for both the pop3 and smtp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
