FlyACL

That is one ulgy sig... Anyway, try this. Let us know if you get stuck.. Good Luck~

Start>Messaging>Accounts>New Account

Page 1/4 ~ E-mail Address
This is easy, enter your email address
Next....

Page 2/4 ~ User information
The "your name" part is what ever you want. It has no bearing on the settings.

User name is the part of your email before the @ sign (ie USERNAME@<isp>.com)

Password is your email password

Check the box for Save Password
Next....

Page 3/4 ~ Account information

Account type is POP3

Account Name is what ever you want it to be. If you set up more then one this can be very helpfull. I just used my username, same as the last page.

next....

Page 4/4 ~ Server information

This is where it can be a little different for some people. 99% of the time it is MAIL.<ISP>.COM, From looking at the Comcast site it appears they use MAIL.COMCAST.NET for the incomming and SMTP.COMCAST.NET for the out going. You can try these. But this is one of the areas you might have to tinker with. For example changing both to MAIL.COMCAST.NET

The domain you can just leave blank.

Options.....

Options page 1/3

I would not check this box for checking for messages every X# of minutes. If you are not online you will get an error message every X# of minutes.

Next....

Options Page 2/3

Here I checked the box for "Outgoing mail requiers authentication" as well as "Use separate settings"

Outgoing Settings....

Outgoing server settings

For username here I had to use my entire email address. This was very different then the rest of the set up.

Enter your password

Leave the domain blank

Check the box for save password

Check the box for "Require SSL for outgoing mail"

Click OK in the upper right corner

Next....

Options page 3/3

In order to save space I would select "Get message headers only"

Check the box marked include and select 2K

Finish....
