OSX Email Errors with Comcast Servers

Didn't work

And when I ran Keychain Fprst Aid, it found problems, I then repaired them.

Re-Ran First Aid again, found the same problems it forst reported.

Ran fix again.

Ran Check and found the very same problems all over again.

Repeat First Aid Fix.....repeat problems found.

I am NOT wiping ouit al my passwords, logins, et al to start all over again and still possibly face Maverics Mail app unable to log into my main email smtp account.

Suhhestion apprecoated Greatly, but it don;t work, and again...I can access incoming/outgoing servers with my Iphone and Ipad with no trouble.

It shows as a comcast.net POP account

smtp.comcast.net

995

ssl

It's all as they recomended.

They say they DON'T support 3rd party programs, just their webmail, which works fine.

As much as I hate to say it, I think it's an OSX Maverics bug with password authentication.

After fiddling with the settings, i THINK it's working now. I'll set how long it lasts. I'm intersted to see the date on the Xfinity email guide is Nov. 22nd...as if they got flooded with issues and suddenly needed to update their settings. I see some alternate port settings are now listed.

Hope it works, and really disappointed they wouldn't take the time to run me thru the set-up to make sure it worked for me.

So what else is new?

That's a plausible explanation that may NOT be shared with their customers.

Help here was appreciated.

Too bad a decision was made NOT to offe much assitance at all to a significant portion of their users on Mac Platforms. Disappointing to say the least if they made changes. and are NOT bothering to tell anyone who raises the issue of not being able to use MacOSX on their latest servers without changing port assignments and troubleshooting what works and what doesn't.

Hopefully I 'm up and running for a while.

Thanks again, hope this works for a while before something else changes.
