ximian evolution

Instead of configuring your mail client. You can configure your local
mta to use a mail relay host, defined as comcasts. Then any program or
process that your box uses to send mail will also work. 

I run my mail at home on a comcast connection and use postfix. 

postfix example:

grep relayhost /etc/postfix/main.cf

relayhost = whatever.comcasts.outbound.smtp.server.is

then, postfix reload

Problem less annoying.
