Comcast email using Outlook

I have a new iPad Air 5th gen. I added my Outlook app to the iPad. I use it for several different personal, work, and business email accounts.

I have been trying to add an account for a Comcast imap account and I cannot seem to get the setttings to work, either in the regular setup or using advanced settings.

The account was added to the default iPad mail app, however that is not where I want the email to go, I really need it to be in Outlook. Does anyone know the proper settings? I have tried every combination of smtp settings in and out with no success.

In common with many other Mail providers, [Comcast] Yahoo now use App Passwords to secure access IMAP or POP3 mailboxes.

The Mail App on each of your devices, such as your iPad, requires a unique password to be generated from within the Yahoo account. This App password intentionally differs from your Yahoo account password - and can only be used to access your Yahoo mail.

I just found the solution to this, as well. It is in settings. I just turned off the focus option.

I am going to close this question because I have now figured it, somewhat. All of the emails will populate, as long as I chose "Other", rather than "Focus" in the inbox. I am not sure how to change the default view to "Other".

all the settings should be the same no matter of what email client you use on any sort of device from phone to tablet to computer.
