Email is not sending

About a month ago, our comcast email quit working on our PCs for at least a day or two.  When it finally came back up, we could (initially) receive, but not send.  Finally, it started sending as well.  At the same time, my email stopped working on my Samsung S22+.  From other users on this forum, I learned to remove my email account on Samsung S22+, clear the cache and it started working again.  However since then, periodically my comcast email on my PC doesn't send.  I have had this problem at least 5 or 6 times in the last month.  Usually email stops sending in the late morning, emails sit in outbox.  Then later in the day, late afternoon, early evening, the emails send.  A few days later, the problem starts all over again.  This is clearly a Comcast issue.  What is the problem and how is it being resolved on your side?  I will have to change email address if this keeps up, as the issue is becoming totally unacceptable.  FYI, the error is temporary server unavailability messages or incorrect settings, so are unable to send.  Please do not advise me of a fix on my side.  This is not a problem on my side, or the user side.  It is a Comcast problem.  Some honesty about what is going on would be appreciated.  Do you not have enough servers?  Are there problems with your servers or a bug in your system?  I need to know if you recognize and are addressing this issue.  If you are not, then I need to transition to a new email provider.  Please advise.

I continue to experience this problem and it is becoming a daily occurrence.  I have DM'd but get nowhere.   There is always a different person, asking the same irrelevant questions.  You message back and forth, but nothing ever gets addressed or resolved.  The problem is happening now.  Email will not send on my PC, my husband's PC, or my phone.  This happens in the morning, and then fixes itself later in the day/evening.

This eveidently is an ACTIVE problem with XFINITY.  We spent 4 1/2 hours on the phone with technical support and and then escalated to a higher level of support and in the end they basically told us tough luck and the rep even said to me that she doesn't get paid enough to deal with this and we need to call Apple and/or Microsoft.  It is obviously an XFINITY problem that they won't admit to.  It's ridiculous that we are paying for this.

@susanVL Could you send me a DM with the usernames that are involved?  We'll take a better look at the logs and see if we can figure out what is going on.  I have a theory, but I want to check logs in more detail. 

Click on my name, then on the right side, there should be a three-dot menu.  In there is an option to "Send Message".

When I click on your name, it goes to a page that allows me to follow you.  I don't see anything with the three dot menu or to "send message".  Can you reply with a link?  Thanks.  And thanks for following up.

@user_oj0yyw Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfintiy Forums! Is your email still not sending? Can you tell me if you are using a third party email client or if you are using our Xfinity page?
