My Comcast account uses "mail.comcast.net" for incoming mail and
"smtp.comcast.net" for outgoing mail. Try those names. If they don't
work, phone Comcast for help, as Matt DuBois suggested.

i am having a problem with my email...outlook express
keeps popping up an error..i have sent an error report,
but i am unsure what to do next...i can't open any
attachments and i have trouble sending email..
please help

thanks

I contunally get an icon error message in the lower right
hand cornor of my Outlook Express 6 screen. I called my
provider and they told me it was an Outlook Express
problem. To correct this error message I have to go to
tools, accounts, properties, server. The problem then is
my incoming mail is changed to local host from
direcway.com and my account name is my e-mail address and
it should only be corporal_5. I click on apply and this
corrects the problem for a while then it goes back to
local host etc. My provider told me to reload my Outlook
Express 6, but I can't find it. What do you think.

The localhost setting is probably being made by an antivirus program
that's configured to scan your incoming mail.

When I use a web site to send an email, outlook comes up
and then it won't send. I can't delete outgoing mail that
never gets out. How can I get the outbox to delete all
held email that has been there for months???? I would
rather my Hotmail compose comes up instead of outlook.
Unless I know the email address that I am trying to send
a message to,then I have all this backed up stuff in my
outbox in outlook that won't send.
Once in while, after months, sometimes it kicks in and
sends. Weird, or so I have setting set wrong.

PLEASE HELP...

Drag them to the deleted folder?
