Configure Outlook 2000 email

[Leesha]

I am currently using Outlook 2000 for email. My current ISP, Road Runner, is
being acquired by Comcast. I have attempted to configure Outlook to receive
email from Comcast, but to avail. Comcast prefers that I use port server
number 587 instead of 25. How do I configure Outlook to accept port server
587?

Comcast does not support Outlook 2000; instead they prefer that I use
Outlook Express. What do you suggest I do to continue using 2000?

Thank you,

In Outlook you go to Account Properties\Advanced and change the port to 587 there.

If Comcast does not support Outlook then there is a reason for it. Have you asked. Unfortunately I have no idea about Comcast so I cannot help you there. Possibility is that their mail is IMAP format

Leesha,
Try using Port "465" w/o quotes, and make sure that you check the box for
SSL connection, on the advance settings tab for your Comcast account.
