How to reconnect the Mail on my Comcast account?

Mail lost its ability to access my Comcast email account. He had lost the ability to send until I updated to El Capitan yesterday evening and changed my password for Comcast today. I can log in and access my account window and Comcast webmail through Safari with the new password, and I can send and receive messages from the browser window. But now I can't send or receive mail from my Comcast account by mail. I have found the same system preferences/Internet password accounts and Mail preferences many times very carefully, but Mail reports that it cannot validate my ID to access the account. What did I miss?

Comcast, BTW, is less than no help at all. For the $2200 that I pay them each year, you would think they could offer something more than a superficial technical support offered only imitation via chat online by well-oiled amateurs. The last time I "demand a reminder ' of Comcast, I waited five weeks and it never came. I did it when the ability to send mail has disappeared.

Mid-2014 retina MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB storage in flash memory with more than 600 GB free, El Capitan 10.11.2, Mail 9.2 (3112).

Here are the correct settings of the Comcast e-mail: http://customer.xfinity.com/help-and-support/internet/email-client-programs-with - xfinity-email /

Note: you must remove the previous SMTP Mail settings before you remove the last account e-mail settings, otherwise they will be kept.

Note: There was some sort of transition between PoP3 and IMAP of Comcast put implemented, do not know what protocol you were using before the show. I've never set up Comcast to use IMAP.

    1. how to restore the Mail app?

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot-~ 5 minutes...
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    N ° of BB devices lack a complete email client on them. Instead, they depend on the BIS service to provide messaging functionality. BIS is active when you have also listed Internet/personal email where you currently see only Enterprise. All services of BIS, are sent to the device via data carrier network... contact them are therefore the right approach to discover why their network is no longer to deliver to you the services that you pay for.

  • How to remove the mail profile in windows 7

    I am trying to remove a mail profile in my new system windows 7. I know how to do it on Vista (as below), but this does not work in windows 7 and can't find the info anywhere.  Can anyone help please?

    How to remove the profile under XP or Vista. (1) open the control panel. 2) click on user accounts, and then click surCourrier. (3) the email configuration dialog box opens and you can delete email profile as you wish.

    Hi vanziggy,

    In the Panel, it has a link to "Add or remove user accounts". This is not the place (in Windows 7).

    In Control Panel, in category view - a small drop-down menu at the top right, there is a section "user accounts and Family Safety", which is a link.

    In the dialog box accounts users and family security, there is a box option, where you can add or remove profiles (e-mail). -Bob

  • How to view the mail server internal to the secondary address.

    Peace,

    I have a wan with 3 addresses interface, and I have an internal e-mail server. When I send emails from the mail server it appears to the world as primary I address we will tell to x.y.z.67. I want it to appear in the secondary address x.y.z.68. How to do this?

    I already have a nat static port 25 110, 995, and several others, but which allows only when mail is sent to the mail server is not when sending mail from the mail server.

    any help?

    I did a quick laboratory with this and then forgot to post back :-)

    It was on an emulator, but I couldn't make it work.

    I tried to create a pool NAT using the secondary IP to the e-mail server to use, but it did not work.

    And there is no way to say IOS you want to overload the mail to a secondary IP address server IP IE. It overloads only on the primary IP on the interface.

    The only thing I can think right now is a NAT one to one between the real mail IP server and the secondary IP address, but this requires that you do not use the secondary IP address for port redirects to other servers.

    Is there a reason that it should be a secondary IP address IE. IOS will always be NAT, even if the IP address is not assigned to the interface.

  • How to change the 'Archives' folder for email accounts in El Capitan?

    El Capitan, before I was able to change the 'Archives' folder in the mail by changing the ArchiveMailboxName property in the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist as a result file.

    Unfortunately, with El Capitan that has stopped working. The right Mail application does not take into account my changes and keeps using the old folder of archived messages no matter how to customize above setting.

    Does anyone know how to change this setting in El Capitan?

    Background: I use a dedicated folder to Archive each year. So I want to move this folder from Archive.2015 to Archive.2016 that does not work.

    OS X El Capitan (tested with 9.2 Mail), you can directly set in the Mail application:

    1. Select your new folder to archive.
    2. In the menu, choose mailbox > use this mailbox under > archive mailbox.

    In German, it is Postfach > sharps Postfach use als > Postfach "Archiv".
