I am getting the above error when trying to set up my new Comcast email on iPhone, it says to check account settings and try again. I am following their directions and I get this every time. Anyone know how to fix?
iPhone 11
Try this:
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.comcast.net
User Name: the first part of your email address before the "at"
Password: you should know that
Outgoing Mail Server:
SMTP: smtp.comcast.net. Tap on this to get to those settings>on this page it should be the Primary Server, tap on smtp.comcast.net again.
The Host Name is the same, smtp.comcast.net
User Name: same as the incoming
Password: same as incoming
Use SSL: turn this switch on
Authentication: Password
Server Port 587
Go back to the first page with the Incoming Mail Server
Tap on Advanced:
Mailbox Behaviors
Move Discarded Messages Into
Deleted Messages
Set all of these to your desired setting
Use SSL: turn on
Authentication: Password
IMAP Patch Prefix /
Server Port 993
You would be setting up the account manually. Usually it should verify automatically if you put in your email address and password.

You should contact Comcast or look at their support site.
map.comcast.net doesn't support password authentication
