But with it set with IMAP and the port settings changes I made via Xfinitys beta program, I was able to get all my folders on there too.Now I am have trouble configuring the ipad 3rd gen because it keeps auto configuring my comcast account to a pop server.Help. Need to figure this out.Thanks.
This was posted in a thread in Comcasts forums and may help you: iOS 6 is just a bit tricky to setup for the Comcast IMAP Beta. It seems that iOS thinks it is smart enough to determine whether to use IMAP or POP for a new account setup. ![]() I simply changed the server name in the requested Email field from comcast.net to Somewhere.net. When I saved the setup the next screen asked me to specify IMAP or POP, which I did, and then it allowed me to change the server name to comcast.net. OS went on to create the account and it uses port 995 rather than 143 but sending and receiving on both the MacBook and iPhoneiPad seem to work OK. Regards. I go back in and change the server name to imap.comcast.net by it still doesnt work. If you are on one of those programs, are you able to successfully set up to Comcast as an IMAP account on your computer Regards. Comcast Email Server Settings Download The XfinityIf you are having no luck - and want a very good alternative - download the Xfinity Connect email app from Comcast. While I do have Comcast mail configured in the mail app, I prefer the Connect app and want it has to offer over the mail app. Comcast Email Server Settings Windows 8 Email ClientI know it is working because the native windows 8 email client is working. Right up there with Santa and the EB.... Please say its true. I currently use Comcast with the IMAP beta in Mail.app (10.8) and on my Android phone. I can delete something in one place, and its deleted everywhere. If it gets flagged as spam via the web client or Mail.app, its gone elsewhere. IMAP has been around for a long time and this is the way it works. Comcast is finally getting around to supporting it since MS dropped support for POP. Excellent I suppose I should ask if there are reports of any horror stories, where people tried this and things went horribly wrong. But now it wont find my account and cannot connect to the server. ![]() Are there different steps now to take to add a Comcast email account Can anyone help please.
