Obviously Comcast is zero help.I'm new to Outlook since April, I'd always used Outlook Express prior to this on the XP machines these replaced, so I'm in relatively unfamiliar territory with Outlook 2010 as an e-mail client. Right before I posted this, I "repaired" my primary account once again with Outlook's "repair connection" feature. Right this second, my Outlook e-mails are being received properly, but based on it only lasting 24 hours last time, I'm wondering what is going on. This held up for about 24 hours, all of a sudden, my Outlook e-mails are once again sending but never getting anywhere. It changed the outgoing server port number and switched the encryption from SSL to TLS, and suddenly all 5 accounts worked fine - several test e-mail sent to various recipients, all received promptly and replied received promptly. Last night, I thought I had it fixed.I tried accessing each POP3 account through Outlook, and used the "repair connection" wizard. Wish I could change, but they're the only game in town. After 5 days Comcast closed the ticket on me with the statement that "our only requirement is to provide you with webmail." Of course, I'm livid with them, basically saying if you're running an e-mail client, you're totally on your own. I went through 5 days of ridiculous Comcast nonsense being shuffled from tech to tech, ticket to ticket, spent hours on hold, well.you get the picture (especially if you're a Comcast subscriber.) They basically did nothing for me other than trying an alternate set of server port numbers, which didn't work. Nothing has changed on the machine, no changes made to Outlook, etc. If I log into Comcast's webmail, the e-mails get received as they should, but using Outlook, they don't. I get no "bounce" notices or any other indication that anything is wrong, the e-mails just don't get there. Starting 5 days ago, e-mails sent from any of the 5 POP3 accounts send fine, they show up in my "sent" folder, but never reach the recipients. I really dislike webmail, so I have all my accounts set up in Outlook 2010. Since the machines were new, I have had zero problems with e-mail.
