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.

Same problem. Xfinity take care of your customers! Or, is it silence as usual??? Take our money and No service!

I've been dealing with this since Monday night. I;ve called Comcast numerous times, and I think everyone knows what it's like to get a real person, versus pushing us here to deal with problems on our own. That being said, I went through the removing the account and adding the account dozens of times, all with the same results, a short term fix and resorted to the same issue. However this wroked for me and is still working after several hours:
1-remove the email account for the app
2-clear the apps cache
3-restart your phone
4-add the email account
5-cross your fingers
As I said, several hours and it's still syncing. Before it died after the first sync.
Good luck!!

Same here! I've been deleting my Comcast account on my Samsung email account and logging back in and it seems to work for maybe less than half the day until I need to do it again, and again. I have an s22 ultra. I was about to send an email and i got all the same errors and everything I typed is gone -_-. Please fix!!!

Last evening I uninstalled and reinstalled the Samsung email app. My Comcast email application has been working since then. Fingers crossed! This nightmare has been totally unacceptable.

Same for me, 2:07am on Nov 7 was last sync. I called Comcast yesterday. They said they're aware and "not to worry", they are working on it. I love it when I'm told what to do! I told the guy not to tell me to worry but fix the bleeping issue. They really need better training for these multinational phone reps.

I removed my Xfinity email account from the Samsung email app and re-added it. This seems to have fixed the issue. Xfinity appears to be looking for "Modern Authentication." I found this online:
Xfinity Email Modern Authentication for Samsung Email App
FAQs
How do I enable modern authentication on my Samsung device?It’s easy to protect your email with modern authentication. Just complete the following steps:

I am having the same issues. I went and changed my password on Comcast and then my Samsung email asked for the password and it downloaded the emails from yesterday that I missed. But then it never worked again. It is very frustrating. Comcast needs to get there act together. They suck.

My Husband's Galaxy Flip3 and my Galaxy S23 are having the same problem. I uninstalled his Galaxy email app and reinstalled it and it is working so far this morning. I'll wait a day before I do the same on my phone as a test to see if this is the real fix.

I'm heading to the AT&T store this morning to make sure I can uninstall and reinstall the Samsung email app and the Comcast/Xfinity email apps without screwing something up and losing all emails. Fortunately, I am getting my Comcast emails in my Gmail account just not on my Samsung Galaxy S22+. I don't want to lose that ability by deleting and installing the Samsung email app. My email on my phone has not updated since 8:06 yesterday morning.

This happened to me to around the same time! Very frustrating!
I have a couple of thoughts on what's happening and how things I did to get back online.
Cleared the data and cache of the email app on my phone (basically reset it).
Said yes to all the permissions this app was asking for on my phone.
Turned on third party email access in my web-based Xfinity email settings.
Turned off 2-step verification for my web-based Xfinity log-in.
I hope this is helpful to everyone that is having this problem.
Good luck!
