I can receive e-mail, but can't send it.
Sucks, because I really gotta get in touch with Barrett at AllWheelsDriven.

You need to know the SMTP address of your e-mail provider.

SMTP.comcast.net
But it will just sit there "connecting" forever.

You must be using Outlook.

Some SMTP servers require the use of special ports or the use of SSL. Also, you may want to change the timeout time to something a little longer.
And Outlook works just fine as long as you set it up correctly.

I'm going to have to dispute this. after working tech support for over a year... Outlook will work just fine if you set it up correctly, but it will generally end up breaking no matter what.

Yeah, it was a joke but also a question. When I used to use Outlook it took forever to get my email messages.
