All my outgoing SMTP outgoing servers are offline. How do I fix this?
I have several (5) @comcast.net email accounts under a master account and I get an error message everytime I try to send from any of them. It's driving me nuts. The error message I get is "Cannot send message using the server edited personal info@comcast.net was rejected by the server smtp.comcas.net." in a window that shows several outgoing mail servers all of which are tagged (offline). I logged into my main Xfinity account to verify that password was working and it was and tried setting that as the outgoing server password in Mail. BTW I am on a Mac using Macmail Version 16.0 (3774.500.171.1.1) I have also tried setting the passwords for the outgoing server to match the one for the incoming server on those additional accounts to no avail. HELP!!! not being able to send mail easily is a hassle. I currently circumvent the problem by logging into email from the Xfinity portal but that only sends from my primary master email address. I also find it highly aggravating that it is almost impossible to get hold of a live support person as the only ph. number I have for tech support sends me to a doom loop phone answering system that seems [Edited: "Language"] bent on getting my to use Xfinity's automated tech support system. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Some additional info, I changed my password on my primary email acct. after the Xfinity breach thing and I updated the outgoing mail server in each of my email accounts. The outgoing mail servers still read as offline in the Connection Doctor window. I get incoming email to those accounts no problem. I verified the new password by logging into the Xfinity browser portal email where I can receive and send emails. Only for my primary email address though. Any help by a knowledgeable person would be most appreciated. Only now am I realizing how dependent I am on email to do the most basic things. This situation is like having functioning ears but having your tongue cut out.

I am having the same problem. I did change my password as required and it is showing the server as offline. I rebooted. I have no problem signing into the website. This is incredibly frustrating.

I am having the exact same problem. Spent over an hour with "technical support" and they were unhelpful and I still have the problem!

I am having this same issue today. I cannot send an email. It's telling me the outgoing server cannot connect. Everything worked fine yesterday, I changed nothing and now I can't send an email from my iphone.
