Go to Comcast email page, settings, security, and checking the box to allow 3rd party email client access.

Comcast directs me to Xfinity, who states that Xfinity password is same as comcast. Comcast support doesn't address this issue online. Attempt to contact them just gets a robot that doesn't know answer. Used correct name, PW, etc. Keep getting message: The IMAP server “imap.comcast.net”

doesn’t support Password authentication. Please check your account settings and

try again.
