I am trying to connect Outlook 2003 to my email on Comcast. I am a novice!! I have put in all of the information but when running the tests I receive an error on the POP3. It says it found the server but the server would not respond. Check the port and ssl. I have checked and re-checked but can't determine what is wrong.I have verified with COMCAST that the ssls are 110 and 587 respectively. Any suggestions??

Here is what needs to be done: 1) Change email/pass word settings for account, 2) Set POP3 to mail.comcast.net, 3) Set SMTP to smtp.comcast.net, 4) Go to More Settings Advanced tab and change POP3 port to 995 with encryption, 5) On same tab, change SMTP port to 587 without encryption. 6) On the Outgoing Server tab, check authentication box on the top.

Thanks! It worked!

Steve, Thanks for posting this. I had similar problems with Outlook 2010 and Comcast. I am using 3rd party hosting and my email had stopped working. No one seemed to know what was wrong, so when I saw your post, I thought, OK, I'll try it. It worked! Can you tell me, please, WHY it worked? Thanks, again.
