When Comcast change outgoing email smtp port 25 to 587?

All of a sudden, I could not send email with Comcast. Chat live Lady says to set the port to 587 smtp. It has alsways been port 25. She said that they have not changed anything. MS Outlook probably does not change all by itself. Frustrating. Has anyone else had any recent problems send or receive emails with Comcast lately?

They started sporadically change about four years. I think they have only started to say their technicians recently.

How can I set up/configure Outlook Express, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail to E-mail from Comcast?

  • Thunderbird change outgoing email address

    Compose a new email:

    In the field 'To' I start typing an address. Thunderbird offers a drop-down matches of my address book. I select one of the addresses. Thunderbird puts in the field "to". At this point, my cursor is still in the field "to". Then I hit enter to move to the next field, & Thunderbird changed the email address to a different address (an address that is different from my address book).

    If I add a space after the e-mail address before you press Enter, Thunderbird leave the email address as it is.

    Behavior is somewhat random - address is not replaced all the time. In addition, for a while, Thunderbird will make a change - as always change address X to the address, then it will switch to another change - address Z always replacing address w.

    The alternative address is always one that is in the address book.

    Also, Thunderbird colors randomly a few e-mail addresses out in red, even if they are in my address book.

    This is known and reported bug the developers are working on a fix critical. Please note that this bug only occurs if you are using TAB or ENTER.

    Two options, but I recommend option 2.

    1. if you use your mouse to select the email address and use the mouse to move to the next line then it does not.

    2. suggest using this method. This method does not require using the TAB or ENTER keys, so will not produce the bug.

    Write a new message.

    • Use the Contacts Sidebar
    • 'View' > 'Contacts sidebar' or toggle view using the f9 key.
    • Select address book only SELECT strung
    • Click on the button 'TO Addto' or other options.

    You can follow the bug here:

    You can "vote" for the bug... in the upper part, where it is said:

    • Importance:-criticism with 13 votes (vote)

    This is not a forum 'cat' or 'support', it is used to report bugs and developers will use, then do not enter do not comment, unless adding new useful data, but you can vote for it. You must register to vote etc.

  • How to configure the outgoing mail SMTP for Outlook Express 2003 receive service internet ulitizing comcast email?

    My ISP is Comcast.  I use Outlook Express 2003.  Comcast has to change mail outgoing SMTP from 465 to 587, when I could no longer send emails.  I can receive emails, but when I send a mail, Outlook Express says that the email has not been sent (but there are sent) and does not record the email in my sent folder.  I now get 2 copies of every email sent to me.  Help.

    Not surprisingly, Comcast tech told you wrong.
     
     
     
     
    Don't forget to set up exactly. Some boxes to check, some do not.

  • When you access my email on Comcast home page I can't leave the email preview page.

    I open the Firefox browser and my home page opens as (My Comcast) which is normal. I opened my email on this page and the preview page opens automatically for access to e-mail, voicemail, etc. At this point, I can't get back or whatever it is access from this preview page. I can leave the home page but that's all. I tried the support of comcast, but after 2 hours, they could not help. They suggested that the bug was some conflicts between Firefox and the comcast e-mail program.

    Change your preference of Xfinity Connect Connect Lite. If you cannot open the preferences of the overview page of the Inbox by using Firefox, make this change using IE.

    It worked last spring when Comcast first deployed on the update of Zimbra Comcast Xfinity Connect, but later in the summer, they 'fixed' something and broke this overview page of the Inbox for Firefox users.

  • Alerts emails to a non-standard SMTP port

    Is it possible to configure LiveCycle ES 8.2 to send e-mails to alert to a SMTP server on a non-standard port?  In the /AdminUI there is a field for the server, but not for the port.

    Thank you

    Hi Jon

    The ability to configure a nonstandard port in the /AdminUI has been added in the ES2.

    There is a work around that you can use the 8.2.1.

    Depending on the process under the management of the process, open the process called Notification by Email.

    You will see 3 services:

    1. don't send no attachments

    2 send mail

    3. send with map of attachments

    On the properties of each service on the connection settings tab, locate the SMTP Port number.

    You will notice that it is hardcoded at 25.

    Change it to some port that you need for your SMTP server.

    Your task Notifications will now be transmitted using this port.

  • Have 10 Windows, theme fonts and change the size, but the size of the type for the outgoing emails is extremely low. How to reconfigure? to resiz

    The font size that I see when you type an email is tiny. Theme font & size changer is great, but it changed what I see when you type? I check "sent" and it seems fine. In my opinion it has something to do with the "body text" and/or "verdana"?

    First of all, these settings are in pixels, not points. If you have a screen high resolution, you may need rather more than you're used to. I thought I had addressed that in my article linked.

    Format | Size | Wholesale will send BIG CHARACTERS to your correspondents, and the real question is to get them to a size that suits you.

  • When I write an email and contects repeatedly changed. The sender can see what I changed in Andriod email.

    I've found that when I write an email and have changed the content of the e-mail several times before that I send. It's ok for the sender to see it with an e-mail client. Also, it shows normal when I received the reply to the sender and visualize it with Thunderbird.
    However, he shows, when I received the email to reply back and it shows all of the content, I've changed with emails from difference in Android mails.
    I think it must be something to do with Thunderbird, because it does not happen with the other mail client.

    The preview window is updated so that you can see the changes.
