I am another Comcast customer and started having a problem some time during the day yesterday. In the morning everything worked. Now I have all my mail downloaded but there is NO message list or preview pane in either of two accounts. I can see the most recent on screen as if opened, but cannot access anything prior to its arrival - unless I delete it! I have unanswered mail that I cannot answer. Someone suggested a system restore but I will lose all the mail downloaded in that time and it no longer exists on the Comcast server. I use Norton security suite supplied by Comcast but that does not appear to be an issue - but Comcast is - they will not handle it unless I sign up for their paid "signature" support - if they even know how!

PS - you cannot notify me at my Comcast address for obvious reasons!!!!!

I have reconfigured it 3x with Comcast to no avail. Called Microsoft - no phone assistance. Comcast thinks it has been corrupted and Microsoft would help. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I tried using 465 as the port, as Comcast suggested, but that didn't work either. They said it is a Microsoft issue. Can you help me?

I can send a single email, and exit the Windows Live Mail program. The next time I try to access the program I only get a small window which says, Windows Live Mail. Below that it says, "Sending email using Comcast (j78b)..." Below that it says "Not Connected". Then there is a green stripe filling a long box. If I click on "Details", below that are two tabs. The one marked "Errors" just displays an empty box. The one marked "Tasks" always shows two entries:
Send 1 message(s) using Comcast (j78b). Completed
Send 1 message(s) using Comcast (j78b). Executing
The first entry has a check-mark in front of it.
The second entry has a small triangle in front of it.
That's where it hangs. The only way to "cure" the problem is to reboot, but then it recurs.
This problem just surfaced spontaneously today, after I had restored some email files which got deleted accidentally, using Carbonite.
Please tell me what is going on, and what to do about it. If I reinstall Windows Live Mail, will it wipe out all my email messages? Of course, I'd rather not go that route!
Recently I started having issues with Windows Live Mail, I now cannot send from my comcast address or my own website address, both of which I receive just fine. I can still send from my hotmail address, which is also received through Windows Live Mail. When I click on the Properties tab (under Accounts) to check the settings, which is suggested, it will not open. Any help available with this issue? thank you.
