Comcast & Port 587: Stopped Sending Out Mail
Apr 9, 2008
Well after several years of using port 25 for Comcast email my laptop suddenly stopped sending out mail. After a little tinkering I realized that if I used port 587 for outgoing mail all is well.
My question is why did this occur on just my laptop and not my PC? They both are on the same router and I'm pretty diligent with keeping Windows updated, spyware sweeps, virus definitions, etc. What controls this process of disabling port 25 for outgoing mail? I would doubt if Comcast could even see or reach my laptop. You'd think that such a change would be widespread or at the least force me to use port 587 on both of my computers. I should point out that one pc uses Vista while the other is running XP.

I had Vista service pack 1 installed today by tech support, but I don't know if that matters. Tonight, my ability to send messages was intermittant, now I cannot send any. No problem receiving email. Error message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

I use a AT&T exspress aircard and can't send mail out through windows mail on Vista. Do I need to change my outgoing mail port from 25 to another port number? If so what port or how do I obtain that info?

I can see my old emails but I can not receive any new ones. I keep getting this box that asks me to logon to mail.comcast.net and asks me to verify that both the username and password are correct for my mail server. I enter the info but still nothing.

I have an e-mail account with comcast. How can I delete this particular program from my computer so it now longer exists. I have set up email account with another available on-line source and no longer want to be available with the comcast e-mail program. Keep in mind I am not very computer literate and I continue to use comcast internet services.

I receive the following error message everytime I send emails through my aapt account via Outlook or Windows Mail The rejected e-mail address was 'xxx@xxxx.com.au'. Subject 'Fw: Christmas Wishes.', Account: 'mail.aapt.net.au', Server: 'mail.aapt.net.au', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 5.7.1 : Client host rejected: (SPM:RAD) User account blocked from sending email due to policy violation -Please contact support', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
I have used aapt as my Service Provider for a few months. I was using Outlook to send and receive mails. Everything was working as expected. Then one day outlook stopped sending emails but it could receive emails. I contacted aapt and they told me they didn't support outlook only express and there was nothing they could do. So I changed from outlook to Windows mail. I completed the set up which was identical to outlook and again I received the same problem and error message.....

I have evga motherboard with built in Realtek HD audio (ALC883). Board features 2 ports for digital audio (optical and coaxial). and according to manual both are output. However when installed vista drivers one of the ports has been chosen as digital output (optical) and another as digital input (coax) (i can see that when i hover the mouse over the jacks in "Realtek HD audio manager") Is there any way to make the coaxial port as an output port instead of optical? My my HT reciver has no free optical ports so i have to use coax to get some sound from the computer.

I am getting error 0x800CCC78 when trying to send via SMTP Port 587, I am within the firewall, so this is definitely a problem with the Windows Mail program. Outlook Express works on this port. The server is Exchange 2007.

windows mail has trouble sending and recieving e-mail, it will download 4 or 5 messages and then lock up on one for hours till we have to cnacel and re-recieve the mail then we get duplicates of everything and then it will lock up on a different message. most messages have to be sent twice to go through mainly sending quickbooks stuff, invoices etc.. I have read a few posts so far about this we have norton antivirus. Norton says windows mail problem or isp problem. isp says norton problem email scanning is off.

I have been using Windows Mail with Vista Home Premium 32 bit and Norton 360 for about two years now. All has worked very well, but lately every so often (not all the time) when I click send on an email it disappears and does not get sent, and a message comes up and says windows mail had a problem and to check windows for new updates. The computer has all new updates. So I have to create my email all over and click send again and then it goes. This is frustrating when it is a long email to someone and it is just gone. Where does it go? I can't find it anywhere. It's just gone.
Has this happened to anyone? I have turned off the antispam feature on Norton to see if this helps, I'll keep you updated as it may be days before it does it again. Like I said it only does it every once in awhile, specially when it is real important.

There is something stopping me from receiving and sending e-mail from WINDOWS MAIL Everything else works good on my computer. If i go to the Internet and sent myself mail from there it works. What could be stopping it? I have eastlink security and i am thinking of going to avg. Do you have a link for free avg? I know this problem is not eastlink. I don't have ad-aware or any other virus program. I have Internet 8.

Reasons for not being able to send mail outbound using Windows Mail: Some say "Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton antivirus programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, NOT just disabled."
Others say "it sounds like interference from a spyware/spamware program" - what nonsense! It seems for Microsoft it was the best of times, it was the worst of times when they launched Windows Vista.....

I can receive mail using Windows Mail, but not send - I get the following
error:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: hello from Oz',
Account: 'Ruth Egerton', Server: 'smtp.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10013, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
The account details are exactly as on my previous (Windows XP) laptop, so
I'm confident that is not the problem.
Windows Mail options tell me that Windows Mail is NOT the default mail
handler, but clicking the "Make Default" button has no apparent effect.
Running "Set Program Access and Computer Defaults" from Control Panel, I am
told that the default e-mail program is the current e-mail program, and am
not given any way of setting it to Windows Mail (or even told what program
Windows thinks IS the default).
I have MS Office 97 installed, but did not install Outlook. I saw somewhere
that Office thinks Outlook is the default mail program, whether it's there or
not.

I've been having trouble for the last month sending e-mail with windows Mail. I talked to my ISP several times, changed setting etc. Finally today I talked to a CSR that looked at the server setting and he said the settings from me were incorrect. For Windows Mail to work "Relay" has got to be "ON" or "Active" Maybe thi will halp someone.

I have recently purchased a new computer (Dell Inspiron ) running Windows desktop home premium. I transferred everything over from the old computer to the new and everything works splendidly, except Windows Mail. I am not for sure if this problem surfaced after a short period of using my new computer or if this was there from the get-go, but I cannot get my Windows mail to send. It receives just fine, on all accounts and sends fine on all accounts but my main one. I have a mail server with my domain hosting service and every time I attempt to send mail through this account I get the Windows security box that says logon to my mail server. I typed in username and password, click okay, and wait. The box pops back up and says logon again. Apparently for some reason it's not accepting my user name and password. I've gone through all the settings with tech support, including using the various ports they recommend. Still no go. I don't know what else I can do, I don't even know where the problem is emanating from, all I know is I cannot send my e-mail using my primary account.
