Can not sent email from iPhone, iPad and and Windows desktop

Can receive emails. Started this morning when I started getting message “password incorrect, enter the password for the IMAP account  ….. All 3 email accounts were getting same message. Reset passwords for 3 accounts, didn’t help. Deleted one account from iPad, can’t add it now. Getting message “ cannot connect using SSL …” Tried to set up without SSL, got message “the SMTP Server smtp.comcast.net is not responding

Can you log in here? https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite  

This will probably clear in a day or two.

Since you made changes, check your settings against this.  Then check to see if you can get your email.  Post back.

One account is ok now (primary), I can send emails from it. Still can’t send emails from other 2. I checked email account settings of two non working accounts and they matched settings of working account

What are the settings of the working account?

It  makes it confusing when you sign in  using two different usernames .  Plus each  username  is assigned to  an employee  so you probably would have gotten  two different employees responding to you and that right there  takes away time from another customer  but it's also  confusing the issue that you're trying  to have solved.  And I'm glad that we were able to get it solved .  I enjoyed working with you !
