Same thing needs to happen for each outgoing server. Comcast does not need the port change - but what is eluding people is that little drop down menu to Edit Server settings - if your password isn't in there and the port set correctly, the Keychain entry won't stick and then, of course, people go nuts.

Apple stepped up security - and we're supposed to just know it, duh. but there's no glitches, just more demanding exact entries.

Like many of you, I had the same problem with Mail 3.0 in Leopard with outgoing mail. VERY disappointing considering the os otherwise. However after many failed attempts to get mail to go through, I finally did manage to get it to happen. Out of desparation, I used the outgoing settings for my web host, in this case, MacHighway, and mail shot out of the outbox immediately. Although Embarq is my ISP, no combination of port and SSL's could get mail going out. I don't think I can fault Embarq for this, though. I used Terminal to telnet the open port (25) and had no problems.

I realize this may not be an option for everyone, just adding info to the thread. Hopefully Apple with have this fixed soon.
