EMAIL not Syncing on any device - Customer Support is not existent for email. No communication from Xfinity on the widespread problem

Tested both desktop Outlook app and Samsung email app.  Also installed Outlook app on cell and not able to connect to Comcast IMAP server.

This problem has been happening since yesterday.  Email has not synced since yesterday. Error message stating it cannot connect to server.  

We have been customer for over 15 years.  This is the 1st time we have had this problem. And it appears that other Comcast customers are having this problem as well.

Finally, I removed my Comcast email account and re-added it in my Samsung Email S23+.  It's now syncing as of 11/10 9am.

@user_ga4nyf Thank you for sharing the experience you and your husband have been having. I'm sorry for the email interruption and for the delay. Our engineering team has been working on a solution and the roll-out for the fix should be completed. If you are still unable to access your email on a Samsung device please remove the email account from the email client and add it back. This should resolve the issue. 

Please delete your email account on Android using the steps below:
1. Open your Email app. If you are having trouble finding it, swipe upward from your Home screen, then tap inside the search bar and type "Email."
2. If prompted, enter your login information. If this happens, you may stop here as the issue should be clear now. If you are not prompted for your password, continue.
3. Once you can view your Inbox, tap on the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner of the screen to open a menu.
4. Tap on the icon resembling a gear, located in the upper right corner of the menu.
5. The email accounts associated with your Email app will appear at the top of the Accounts list. Tap on the email account you wish to remove.
6. Tap "Remove," located in the upper right corner of the screen.
7. Tap "Remove" in the pop-up window to confirm that you want to remove the account.
8. Now recreate the email account using the normal methods.

 

If this does not help, please let us know.

I deleted the xfinity email account that was not syncing and power cycled my phone.  Then added the account back and was then able to login successfully, I did not have to delete the app and reinstall.  My account has been syncing for the last 2 hours. When you login to reestablish your account make sure the box thats aays "keep me logged in" is checked, or else you will have to login every time you open your email.  Hope this helps others.

It's been working fine for me for the past 20 hours.  I think the fix is out.  Try removing and re-adding your comcast email to your mobile's email app

Reinstalled on phone; working. Tablet healed itself late last night.

If they don't acknowledge the problem,  does it mean they can dodge the angry hoard?

I don't know what Xfinity is doing, I now have the same issue with my wife's email account.  The difference now is that when I authenticate the account it asking me to change her password.  When I click "reset password"  it wants m to change her password and to call Xfinity for help to reset her password, and cannot go any further.  Unfortunately we all know it's extremely difficult to call Xfinity and actually talk to a live agent.   I spent about 30 mins with the Xfinity Assistant to talk or chat with a live agent.to no avail.  I also spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to get pass the voice system to help with this particular issue, also to no satisfaction.  What do I do at this point.  My wife is not a technology person and I handle all the tech issues in our household, and this should be an easy thing to do.  When I try to login to her account on my desktop I get the same issue "reset password" and stating that I have to call to get assistance to change her password.  I need help here and it seems like I cannot get it from Xfinity customer service.

I tried that and didn't have any affect.  What is strange to me is that I can access her email on my desktop without any issues.  Now when I try to login to her Xfinity account on my desk top and enter her password, it immediately sends me to the "reset password".  Once I select reset password, it states call Xfinity to get assistance with changing your password.  Doesn't make sense to me, changing a password should be easy to do.  I shouldn't have to call Xfinity to get assistance.  I thought that if I can get into her Xfinity account I could just change her password there.

Do you have any update on the status of the fix?  It is extremely inconvenient when you can't access your Comcast email account via  Outlook on your cell.  :(

I fixed the problem but have no idea how it worked. I repeatedly removed and reinstalled the xfinity email on my desktop and suddenly it worked not sure how but it worked. I must have hit the magic button somewhere.

Paying over $300 a month and now can’t get emails on iPhone or iPad? Great service.
