Can't Reach Mail Server Anymore?

[Jeff Wisnia]

I've been happily using Seamonkey on both my Windows computers for over 
five years now. One computer is running WinXP and the other WinVista.
My internet access is through Xfinity/Comcast wireless installed in our 
home.
A couple of days ago I received an email from Comcast telling me I'd 
have to change my POP mail server to "465" within the next month to be 
able to continue sending and receiving email through Comcast, for some 
security reason I didn't really understand.
I went to Seamonkey's "Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings" and changed 
the POP mail server to 465 on both computers.
Now, neither computer will neither send or receive emails through 
Seamonkey. (Newsgroups still work fine though.) When I try to send or 
receive emails I receive error codes reading "Failed to connect to 
Comcast" or similar. I can go to the Xfinity/Comcast website, log in and 
receive and send emails there with no problem but I'd much rather be 
able to use Seamonkey again and avoid having to change sites to switch 
between email and web functions, and have to move my rather long address 
books elsewhere. I spent time on the phone with Comcast which didn't 
help at all, the agent finally told me they don't recognize Seamonkey 
and can't help me with this issue.  Any help from this newsgroupwill be 
most apppreciated.
