Mine works great with my comcast accounts. Here's my settings:
Account Name: (WhateverUdLike2CallIt)
Mail Service: US-Comcast
Protocol: POP
Username: (Your_userID)
Password: (assigned)
Email Address:
Incoming Mail Server: mail.comcast.net
Outgoing Mail Server: cwmx.com (this is the Cingular server -- you
didn't mention your cell carrier)
Under Advanced
Incoming Server Settings
Port Number: 110
SSL and APOP not checked
Outgoing Server Settings
Port Number 25
SSL and ESMTP not checked
Stuff in parens is unique to you, so my real info is not shown. The rest
of it is what works for me. I don't understand all of it, but when I had
problems making it work, Cingular tech told me what to put into ports
and check boxes and this is it.
Comcast won't be any help because as soon as you tell them you can't
make your cell phone work, it becomes not their problem. On the other
hand, I'd almost wager the problem is indeed with the ports or
checkboxes on your Treo.
