You no longer use the Comcast.net servers for email addresses that have been migrated to Yahoo. Instead, see the instructions under "Set up third-party email clients (like Outlook, iOS Mail, etc.)" near the bottom of https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-yahoo-mail/SLN36803.html. You'll need to change the IMAP and SMTP servers, and the password will be the one you use to log in to https://mail.yahoo.com.
