Configuration problems with IMAP e-mail on iOS with a non-standard SSL port.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

BTW -

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspahttps://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Make sure that you have entered the username and password in all places, including where it says optional. Also, make sure you have the correct ports set for mail, as Comcast use different ports.

Use these settings. These work perfect on mine.

Here is something I have found that people can get done when something doesn't work in mail. Put in your email and purposely put in a wrong email. When it fails to verify, it should still bring you to the section to enter information. Then try putting in all of the information as shown and see if it will verify. The only other thing is for the web version of mail, you have to enter the entire email address as your username. On the phone, your username is just the portion before the "@" sign.

May not help for the mail app but I can get my Comcast email though the Xfinity Connect app.

I agree there must be something on the Comcast end. If you are entering the correct information in the Mail client, then it should work. Good luck with Comcast.

If the Mail App works for any other email account (try a gmail account, for example), then the Mail App and the iPhone are working properly. And therefore, the issue is on Comcast's end.

Try another email account with the Mail App, and see if that works.
