I am unable to set up Comcast.net email on my iPhone

My iPhone 13 (17.5.1) quit receiving my comcast.net emails so in an attempt to correct it I deleted the account then attempted to set up 'new' using published instructions. iPhone went from 'verifying' to a POP UP mentioning 'Comcast is currently unavailable'. This has been going on for two days.

I have an iPad that has never had comcast.net email activated and I set it up on it with no issues today.

Is the issue Comcast or Apple? Is there a known work around? Do I just 'wait'?

Sounds like you need to turn on third party access to your Comcast email.

Sign into your Comcast account using Safari.
Go to your web mail for the account you are trying to add
Choose the Settings option
Select the Security tab
Make sure the checkbox is turned on for third party access

I've done that on the iPhone using Safari and also on my PC. I just confirmed again using Safari on the iPhone and 3d Party is confirmed. It still does the 'verifying' then a POP UP mentioning 'Comcast is currently unavailable'.
