Third party email service error

Why can’t I use my email address with a third party service? I’ve followed all the steps presented to me and still get an error message “Can't add an account? Check our Help Page for a possible solution.”

user_bt55t1 Hello, what kind of third party service are you using?

Hello, thank you for reaching out. I am using Spark, which has been working for months until, last week. I have a subscription that’s been active since November. And the Apple mail seems to have the same problem after working for months. Thanks for any help with this matter.

user_bt55t1, Thank you for the update. Do you still have active Xfinity service attached to this email, or was it from a previous account? Are you able to log in to our website to access your emails without any issues?

user_bt55t1, thanks for confirming. It would help to check to ensure you have turned on access for the third-party applications, as you can see here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/third-party-email-access. Have you used Spark/Apple Mail before, or is this your first time setting these services up?

my third-party application is enabled and yes, I’ve used spark. Apple is currently working right now. All we need is spark.
