Wayne,
I don't think you have to set the password twice. The outgoing server password and user id fields are optional. You usually only need to enter the outgoing server which should be of the form smtp.comcast.net or some such.
However the difference between the iOS5 device and your iMac is that the OS assumes that with a computer you are using the ISP that you have and usually it does not require user authentication for outgoing messages since you are on the ISPs network. When you use Comcast's outgoing mail server when you are off their network - (e.g on the phone network or using a WIFI on another network), Comcast will not send an outgoing message for you unless it authenticates you as an authorized user.
In my situation, I don't use my ISP's outgoing mail server with my phone but either use AT&T's outgoing server or my domain name administrator's server.

When you First setup an email account on a iOS5 device and for an internet provider email account, in Settings on iPhone/iPad one must set the password twice; once for income and once for outgoing servers. Had to get a new password for my wife and she could not send but could receive email because I didn't realize on iOS5 devices you have to set the out going server password also. Why? Don't have to on an iMac running Snow Leopard/Lion.
