For over a year, I have received my Comcast email to my laptop using my Outlook 365 app. Never had an issue until this morning. All I got was a 'send/receive error'. When I tried repairing it, nothing worked! I double-checked that the security box as still turned on to allow third party email programs (it was); I 'repaired' the connection using incoming server: imap.comcast.net, port: 993, encryption method: SSL/TLS, outgoing server: smtp.comcast.net, port: 587, encryption method: SSL/TLS. I am getting this error message:
So, I tried the other encryption methods - still would not connect. I have absolutely NO idea why it worked when I went to sleep last night and this morning it does not. I would really appreciate any help.

2023-01-19T22:11:03+00:00 I have that checked and it still did not work for me.
What I did discover is that in My Norton Secure VPN was turned on. Turned it off and outlook works with comcast email id. I saw something on Norton support about split VPN and excluding an App. When I tried to split VPN and add outlook it did not let me ADD it. Will look further soon. Not time now.

2023-01-19T15:14:13+00:00 I just found an option in Email Settings -> Security tab in the web inbox of my Xfinity account where you need to check
Allow access to my Xfinity Connect email through third-party programs (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc.).
This worked for me.

2023-01-12T10:42:43+00:00 Just had to say Noooooooooo! So sorry this keeps happening to you! Like I said, my husband has stopped trying to use Outlook with his Comcast account. Strange that I have experienced none of these issues with my account, which I have on four different devices.
