@lnwinston That is why I keep both Gmail and xfinity Profiles in my Outlook.

Gmail is much more reliable and does not have the incoming server issues that are

prevalent @ Xfinity. I have some senders whose e-mails cannot get through Xfinity

off the top of my head Square Trade Warranty a Division of All State made me change

my e-mail from Comcast.net to Gmail because everything they send to comcast.net

bounces back.

Good to know that gmail is reliable. I've had occassional issues with Comcast supressing delivery of some of my important emails. Always suspected they where stopping them from going thru for some erroneous reason but could never prove it. Thanks for the reply.

I never trust Comcast, so I have always had Gmail & my Business Profiles in my Outlook.

My Business e-mail Service has pre- announced maintenance periods, but Gmail has never let me down.

It's faster than Comcast and can handle bigger Attachments 25 MB, that Comcast claims but will not handle, it poops out around 17MB. Our Business e-mail has a bigger pipe, but using outlook we are limited to 20MB, but if we use the online Service we can send 200MB.

I bet if my Bill was one second late you would find someway to contact me and it would probably

come through messages from my Verizon Phone, because unlike Comcast that always works.

XfinityJohnL - Thank you for the message. May I make a few suggestions? I became totally frustrated with the automated call system. Should not Comcast be able to post a recorded message saying the you are experiencing technical issues and hope to have email returned as soon as possible? Customers would then at least know that their personal devices are not malfunctioning.

When I did reach a Comcast rep, she had no idea there was an issue herself. She tried to transfer my call, and returned to my line to say she'd never seen a queue that extended nearly an hour to speak to Tech. Comcast used to have a "leave a message and we'll call back" system. That would have been wonderful yesterday, and I hope the company considers returning the feature.

I was having a two-fold issue last night. One was apparently the server certificate issue that everyone else was complaining about. But I have also been having a connection issue using Windows Live Mail that is still persisting. I have posted a separate thread about this problem with no replies or comments.

I'm using Outlook - still getting error saying that "reported error (0x800CC0E): 'Outlook is unable to download folder...from the IMAP email server for account imap.comcast.net. Error: Unable to connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'"

I've been getting this error since yesterday. I've checked all my settings - still setup correctly, per your website.

I am using Chrome. I am on Xfinity web site and have not been able to access e-mail for 3 days.

This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in connect.xfinity.com.

If spelling is correct, try running Connectivity Diagnostics.

Try using a different browser. Chrome doesn't always "play" well with Comcast/Xfinity.

Hello @user_d8b967 Thanks for sharing on this thread the trouble you are having with accessing email. I'm sorry for the interruption and I would like to help out. @Again offered a great possible solution for this issue with trying a different browser. If that is not an option you can clear the cache/cookies and history on the browser you are using and try to reload the site again Here. Do you ever use another device or a third party email client for accessing your email?
