During attempts to resolve the problem of my existing Comcast account refusing to connect and not recognizing the new password, I deleted the account in the mail tab and tried reinstalling which just made things worse. To try to attempt to get this to work I removed 2FV but still no luck. I called Comcast, they said it's an issue.
#Comcast mail client setup on mac how to
I know how to do it, but when i type in my comcast email address and password, it says 'The user name or password for is incorrect', but it is not and I verify by logging in to my comcast account/email on PC and through web on iPhone. The problem started when I added two factor verification and changed the password of my Comcast account. Trying to setup comcast email in iPhone Mail app. I have a hunch I’ve lost the ability to access Comcast email via Apple Mail forever.
In the Password field, enter your password. Confirm the Username field has your email address. Enter your full email address in the Email field, and click Continue. Not extremely helpful but a probable indicator of some corruption somewhere. Click the Tools menu, and select Accounts Click the plus symbol ( +) in the bottom left corner, and then click New Account. But I do remember in one attempt at fixing this while attempting to add it via the “system preference” “internet account” tab instead of the mail tab that I got an error that said “system preferences error”. I was blaming bad handshaking during the verification of account data thinking Comcast did not keep up with the latest operating system. Now I am not familiar enough with keychain to look for problems there but you might be on to something as I am able to set the account up without problems on one Mac running Yosemite but I can’t on the Mac running High Sierra.
There is no opportunity to do any settings as you suggest that I know of. The screen then says “verifying” and then says “unable to verify ID / password”. After using “add account” in the mail tab, selecting “mail account” one has to enter account and password info. One problem is that I can’t even get to a state where I can enter receiving port and outgoing port information manually.
