From: Bob W on 7 Nov 2007 15:46 OK, that's a lot to keep in mind when you are a non-tech person having very infrequent difficulties. Thank you.

From: Bruce D. on 12 Nov 2007 10:04 I am having the exact same problem except that I get the same behavior whether or not the "My server requires authentication" is checked. I have also tried every permutation of settings again with no luck. I went back to Comcast's help page and followed its exact instructions for setup and no change. http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Emailtop17686 Just like everyone else I had been working fine then every thing went south. Interestingly...I have (4) mail accounts in my Outlook Express. My primary account (i.e. my default account) is the one I am having problems with. I can receive but cannot send from my default account. However I can successfully send and receive from my other (3) 'peripheral' accounts. The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'brucederrick(a)comcast.net'. Subject 'Fw: Yearly WHOIS Data Confirmation for chrisderrick.com', Account: 'Default', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.0 Authentication required', Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC78 "Bob W" wrote: > Peggy, it is funny that your "unchecking" and my "checking" both worked.

From: Michael Santovec on 12 Nov 2007 14:25 Are all 4 of your accounts with Comcast? Compare a working account to the non-working one. They should be identical on the Servers and Advanced tabs with the exception of the Logon Account name and password. Also in the authentication section click the Setting button. Normally, that should say to use the same settings as the incoming server. If you have the other option selected, make sure that you don't have any typos there. If you still have problems, you may want to record an smtp.log which will show more details about outgoing mail. To create an SMTP.log In OE5+, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Mail You may need to close OE after doing the send for the log to get written to disk. The log will be in the Store Folder which is listed in Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Bruce D." <BruceD(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:23D4D414-15BF-4228-91CF-000A3A487FD9(a)microsoft.com... >I am having the exact same problem except that I get the same behavior > whether or not the "My server requires authentication" is checked.
