Howdy saywhen-ga,

In order to help you with this troubleshooting process, please clarify.

- Do you still have service with Comcast?
- If not, I need to know what service you use.
- Are you trying to use "Outlook" or "Outlook Express?"

Do not post your email address or any other personal information here, just
the answers to the above questions please.  Thanks much!
