Emails aren't sent or received - emails moved to outbox - open emails to see what's wrong
Since 2:07 am today, my Comcast emails aren't being sent or received on my android Galaxy S series. I tried to send a test message to my own email address. It gets moved to my outbox with the message: "Couldn't send." I select the email that didn't send and it says: "Couldn't authenticate...the password or authentication method may be incorrect. Check your outgoing server settings, then try again." I then selected: "Settings" and it brings up the "Server settings" screen. I don't know what the fields should be, but haven't changed anything to my phone or settings or done a phone update. I did a soft and hard restart (pushed the down volume and power button together until restarted), but still not working. I can send and receive emails if I go directly to Comcast's email site. Help.

Hello Friends, as others have mentioned, it seems that you can get your Comcast emails on your phone if you use another provider's phone app -- Outlook or Google Mail, for example. I already have a Gmail account and use the Gmail app on my phone. I added my other email accounts from other providers (Yahoo and Comcast) to my existing GMail App on my phone. Now I get all my emails regardless of provider on the Google Mail app. Not the best solution, but a solution. Comcast/Samsung still needs to fix this.

Seems to have been fixed. My Samsung Email app (which I have been poking every hour or so for the last two days) suddenly asked for my Xfinity password and started syncing.

Oh my, how everyone has become so dependent on their little phones these days, it seems like it's the end of the world. How would everyone be able to live 20 years ago when none of this even existed!

Mine crapped out at 3:38 nov8. and now at 424 it re-synced on its own so maybe it's fixed

I'll add myself to the list. Tried all the above "fixes" with the same results as everyone else. Samsung A54 here.

Update 3:30 PM central time. Still not fixed. I deleted and reinstalled at 1100 today and the last sync was 1127. The last sync on my Gmail was 5 minutes ago.

Mine seems to be working now, 3:45 central time and has been synching for over an hour. Hopefully it will last this time.

My Galaxy S22 just synced my Comcast emails, Perhaps Comcast did fix the issue. I'll see if it continues and will report back!

It's clearly not fixed. I have an S9 Galaxy Note. Email server hasn't synched since yesterday morning. Why all of the sudden Comcast email app won't work on Samsung phones makes zero sense, but between these two multi-billion dollar companies they need to care more and figure it out -- before they both start to lose customers.

I just found this discussion and it describes what I'm dealing-with exactly as of a couple of days ago. Anyway, I have one question: are all the customers posting here folks whose PHONES are with Comcast? Our internet/email is with Comcast, but the phone, a Samsung Galaxy something-or-other, runs on a Verizon phone account. Is it pointless for me to be on this forum then?
