When I click on send and receive emails I receive the message below. How can I receive emails?

The host 'email' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Account: 'email', Server: 'email', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Go to tools>accounts>select your account>properties>server tab.
And enter the following to the respective server address lines:

Comcast incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
Comcast outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net

You may need to change the outgoing Port number from 25, to 465 on the
Advanced tab of your account?
Try sending a mail to yourself prior to doing that.

I should have said change the port number to 587, sorry.
