Have you received the ""invitation"" from Comcast to migrate your email to Yahoo? </p><p>Your account settings should not change without your intervention, but it's good to confirm them anyway. Here are my working Comcast IMAP and SMTP settings. How do they compare with yours? Pay particular attention to the Authentication Method which should NOT be OAUTH2: </p><p>Incoming Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Incoming Server Name: <a href=""http://imap.comcast.net"" rel=""nofollow"">imap.comcast.net</a> Port: 993 User Name: <my email address> Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal Password </p><p>SMTP Server Name: <a href=""http://smtp.comcast.net"" rel=""nofollow"">smtp.comcast.net</a> Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password User Name: <my email address> </p><p>Here are the POP3 server settings, in the rare case you use POP3 rather than IMAP: POP3 (Incoming): Incoming Server Type: POP Mail Server Incoming Server Name: <a href=""http://pop3.comcast.net"" rel=""nofollow"">pop3.comcast.net</a> Port: 995 User Name: <my email address> Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal Password </p><p>Depending on what you find we can take additional steps. </p>",rednoise,false,0,0 |

They can be found in <Settings | Privacy & Security | Passwords | Saved Passwords button>. You will find at least two entries, one for the IMAP server, one for SMTP. </p><p>- Check for saved cookies. They can be seen in <Settings | Privacy & Security | Web Content | Show Cookies button>. There may not be any there, but if there are, delete them. </p><p>Now restart Thunderbird. When it checks for mail and when you send mail, you will be prompted for your password. </p><p>This usually works, but not always. Please report back with your results. </p>",rednoise,false,0,0 |

Of course, I entered the same password, which is still correct for online login, correctly. </p><p>Any other suggestions? Thank you. </p>",Ferrell516,false,0,0 |

Practically, I did nothing to resolve the problem. Thus, whatever happened fixed itself. Ain't modern software wonderfully aggravating? </p>",Ferrell516,false,1,0 |
