Comcast is not an Exchange account. Comcast is an ISP, and it will activate as an IMAP, but not Exchange.

Your incoming server is imap.comcast.net

Your outgoing server, SMTP is smtp.comcast.net

Incoming server uses SSL, and it should actually set up on its own. But you will not be able to set it up using Exchange settings, you have to add the account by tapping on "Other"

Hello starlakegh,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you would like to know the server name for your Comcast account so you can add it to your iPhone X. You may need to contact Comcast directly to get the correct mail server settings. The following articles will assist you as they will provide you with the information you need to verify what your email settings should be:

Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
Mail Settings Lookup - Apple Support

Best Regards.
