Re-open Outlook Express and try to send some messages. I bet they'll go thru.
Thanx for the suggestion. Tried it. It would not send any outgoing mail. Got the following msg:
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'b.flavin@comcast.net'. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.0 Authentication required', Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

Actually I didn't think changing OE would affect the problem since both Z and I had the same results whether we were sending via Outlook Express or webmail, i.e., logging directly onto the Comcast mail system and sending from there, bypassing OE. I'm just real confused.
