Comcast insists it is not their problem. I am able to collect and send email
through my web mail accounts (Comcast.net and Network Solutions.com.
I have read a number of posts the past week from people with similar issues,
but I have not seen any possible fixes.
Is Microsoft working on this problem? Is it related to the recent rash of
updates?
Will this be fixed in a reasonable amount of time?

Download a lightweight email client such as popcorn from

If it can send/receive from your comcast account the problem is with
Outlook, if not, the problem is with Comcast

No. The problem could be anywhere between your machine and comcast's smtp
server.
If you are using webmail, then you are running the program on their server.
Run another email program (like Popcorn) on your machine. That way you are
testing one thing at a time (in this case, Outlook).
I have had the same problem some days ago. If you hav McAfee system
installed
follow this procedure:
Use Tsk Manager to stop the Mcvsescn.exe service.
Start with Outlook and it'll work correctly.
I'm waiting information from McAfee for this problem.
