his is the error message . please help.

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'testing outgoing',
Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'SMTP.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Comcast made some changes in their email settings. Follow these steps:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ...s.ashx?Id=2288

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
Although those instructions were written for Outlook Express,
Windows Mail uses the same settings.
