Hello John Anderson, thanks for posting this in our community.

First, log in to Comcast Webmail to confirm your username and password are correct. If you recently changed your password, make sure to update it in Outlook as well.

Next, enable “Allow Access” in Comcast Security. Go to Comcast Email Settings under Security and enable Third-Party Access, sometimes called “Allow apps that use less secure sign-in.” If you have Two-Step Verification enabled, generate an App Password for Outlook.

Check your account settings in Outlook. Comcast uses IMAP for email, and IMAP is recommended. Here are the settings: Incoming Mail Server Name: imap.comcast.net Incoming Mail Port: 993 with SSL Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.comcast.net Port 587

Update your Outlook settings by going to File, then Account Settings, then Manage Profiles, Email Accounts, and Change Settings.

If the issue persists, update Outlook to the latest version. Clear the Outlook credential cache by going to Control Panel, then Credential Manager, then Windows Credentials, and remove any Comcast entries. Restart Outlook and re-enter your credentials.

Kind regards,

John Oli

This is no longer correct. Comcast is now on the Yahoo mail servers. I suspect that is why John Anderson said his email no longer works on outlook.

Answer 2

To add your Comcast email to Outlook, you can follow these general steps:

Open Outlook and go to the File menu.
Click on Add Account under the Account Information section.
Enter your Comcast email address and click Connect.
You may be prompted to enter your password. Fill it in and click Connect again.
Once the account is added, make sure to set it as your default account if necessary.
Restart Outlook to ensure the changes take effect.

If your Comcast email is not working, ensure that you have the correct server settings and that your account is configured properly. You may need to check your internet connection or contact Comcast support for further assistance if issues persist.
