sending e-mail

Processor: intel
Email Client: pop

When I am not in my home office, I can't seem to send e-mail. I can receive mail. I've contacted my provider COMCAST, byt all they know is Outlook.

Does anyone know what my outgoing mail settings should be?

Thank you!

I use Comcast with no problems as do most users. You didn't provide info
specific to your location. Home office works, but what doesn't work? Are
both POP accounts?

Use the setting for Apple Mail:

Does anyone know what my outgoing mail settings should be?

Send & Receive Basics:

1. If you can receive but not send then you have a bad SMTP configuration
2. If you can send but not receive you have a bad POP or IMAP configuration

You can try re-entering info.
You can delete account and create a new one.
Using copy/paste can result in an extra space being added. Type carefully.
Check your Keychain for corruption.

See this page for help setting up your accounts.

The following works for me, where "myusername" stands for my Comcast user
name:
E-mail address: [email protected]
Account ID: myusername
POP server: mail.comcast.net
[No advanced sending options checked]

SMTP server: smtp.comcast.net
Advanced sending options checked:
SMTP service requires secure connections (SSL)
Override default SMTP port: 465
SMTP server requires authentication
Use same settings as receiving mail server

Hope this helps for you.
