everytim I try to send an email with outlook express I get this error message "The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E" WTF eh?

well check your settings cause the outbound server (SMTP) for comcast is actually smtp.comcast.net, and from the error message you have it set to mail.comcast.net..

In outlook express use these settings.

Hope that helps
