Are you sure you're logged in?

Somebody had to say it!

Check your popmail settings. Your provider will change these without notifying you and you won’t be able to download emails. They would have their latest settings on their website. Just compare them to yours.

As likely as anything... whatever server you’re on at Comcast is simply down. It happens.

Did you try to disable any real-time anti-virus temporarily and see if that does the trick?

Call them. 800-comcast.net and speak to the tech. This happened to me as well. They had sent me an email about a week before that my address had been a possible spam site, which was not true, and that I should change the port to a different number. I did that. Then after a while, it just stopped sending to me. I checked at the comcast.net site directly, and there was nothing there.

The tech told me that the email had been suspended but there was no reason for it at all, and he set it back to rights for me. Couldn't explain it either. Just apologized for it and fixed it up. Call them.

It looks like, from the error message, that your Outlook 2003 is configured to retrieve mail using IMAP4 protocol, which is a little unusual but not unheard of either. If your Comcast email server is POP3, that would be a problem as far as downloading emails.

Also, comcast has recently updated their online mail program like 2 days ago.

That's probably your culprit. Something has changed with their email server settings and you'll need to re configure Outlook to work with those new settings. Without having the technical data in front of me on those settings, I can't tell you what to do. You'll have to call Comcast to get that information.

Bills Gates wants you to go to the crappy office 2007

The latest Windows F&^!@ Vista update totally screwed up my Office 2003

This doesn’t help with your problem. I am just posting it as aside that you can think about.

I ditched outlook and thunderbird. I use gmail for my roadrunner account (and several other web-based emails). It’s nice to be able to access my account from anywhere. Plus, you get 7+ gb of storage in the account.

I finally convinced my wife and best friend to do the same. Both can’t believe it took them so long.

Finally, you can set up gmail to leave the mail on the server so that you just check the mail, but your home computer can still be the final repository.

Good luck with the connection issues.
