ERROR 0x800ccc0e error 10060 - Socket what to do now?

Hello.  Lost ability a week or two ago to send emails (but can still receive) on Comcast accounts that are accessible through Windows Live Mail on the FIREFOX browser.  Found the instructions to change the port.  Changed to Port 25 and things worked for awhile.  Then loses the ability to send emails again from today.  I tried port 25 and 587 or 465.  Nothing works.  Impossible to send e-mail messages remain in the Outbox.  Convenience store is no help.  0x800ccc0e error 10060 socket error.  Thank you very much.

PS I just realized that Windows is busy trying to send 2 emails in the Outbox and I can't access another part of Windows Live.  So I am essentially locked until a solution is found.  :-/

1: check work offline.
 
2: delete or move all the messages in the Outbox to the drafts folder.
 
3: follow these instructions to reconfigure your account. Note that there is a little more to do that just change the port numbers. A box or two to check out as well.

4: make a manual send/receive.
5: now try to send a test message to yourself.
