Comcast e-mail not working on Outlook for Android via Pixel 6 Pro

Comcast e-mail is accessible via Outlook on my desktop but not via Outlook for Android on Pixel 6 Pro. Previous discussion from 2020 indicates that it may be a Comcast server / database issue which is corrupting my login details. I have followed the support instructions and re-added [Edited: "Personal Information"] as an account on Gmail on my smartphone but I am still not able to log into the Comcast account via Outlook on my Pixel 6 Pro. All other e-mail accounts are fine. I have cleared cache and storage in Outlook and in Gmail, rebooted, changed from wi-fi to Verizon network, deleted the Comcast account in Outlook and in GMail and added it back. I have checked password and IMAP/SMTP settings. Interestingly, I have all mail to my Gmail address forwarded to my Comcast address and those messages are coming through! This has been going on for three months.

Comcast email stopped working on my S24 running Android using Outlook on March 26, 2024.  I cannot use Samsung email either.  I made likely the horrible mistake of removing the account after resetting the account did not work, and cannot re-add the account to Outlook because I get a message that the server connection has timed out.  I have verified all IMAP settings - nothing works.  All okay on my computer, nothing works on my brand new S24.

@user_wumtwd Please make sure you've enabled the third-party client access:

I am struggling with the same problem. It is frustrating that the only info available is the invite to join a private conversation.

I found that going into my email and turning off  third party client access, waiting 5 minutes, then turning it back on and waiting another 5 minutes my email started working again in outlook mobile.
