Windows Live Mail not sending emails through Comcast
All the WLM functions work except 'send'. Yep....I checked and the incoming and outgoing server addresses are OK. All the setup elements look ok...so where do I look from here?

Try this:
Troubleshoot problems with Windows Mail
I can receive, but not send, e-mail messages.
Thanks,
This solution is for Vista, I think. I have Windows 7, the new version (new PC) and can't seem to find similar instructions for 7.
Fairfield I see. My Dad live there.
Tried all the fixes, but no go. May just have to resort to using the Comcast mail system and forget WLM.
My Dad is 93 and lives in the big military retirement community there, PVE. I'm retired as well, but landed a mile from the ocean in Georgia.
Try reinstalling WLM. Add/remove programs to remove it. May be part of Windows Live Essentials. If you need assistance with doing that, let me know.

I asked him one time about his wartime experience. He replied, I'll tell you this story one time but don't ever ask me again!

Quickdraw...
Thanks for all the help! All WLM settings were correct so I attacked the problem from the Comcast side. It seems the default outgoing port (25) needed to be changed to 587.
Did that and all is well!
Thanks for the hand holding.
