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.

I changed email server settings for imap and smtp from SSL to "SSL (Accept all certificates)" and so far it seems to be updating. Will confirm after giving it more time to make sure.

It looks like Samsung and Comcast are getting a handle on the issue....
We followed the suggestions: Uninstalled the Samsung Email App.
Reinstalled the Samsung Email App
Started a timer
My PC Outlook gets email from Comcast.net with no problems. I use that as a base point to review the Samsung Email App...
The Samsung email was reinstalled 2:30 hours ago and is working...
Emails are in sync.
I see two Moderators have joined this thread and confirmed that the issue is slowly being resolved.
The Samsung email app was the issue and it seems to be on the mend.
Good Luck Everyone...

My email has been working pretty steady for the last 3 hours. Hopefully this means there is "something" going on in the background to get this resolved! After I removed the Xfinity account for the 999,999th time, shut down my phone, turned on my phone and added the account back, it's been good. Before this fix, was only lasting about 15 mins. Good luck everyone!

I have the same issue. Mine started yesterday at about 10am. I can uninstall comcast and it syncs for about 2 minutes and then it stops. I was thinking I was hacked or something.

I have the same issue. Reinstalled Comcast mail and it worked for a minute and then right back to not syncing.

I have same problem as everyone else on syncing with xfinity. If you sign on to xfinity from Google, I can access my emails. Since it works with Google, I would assume the problem is with Samsung app.

Same exact issue here. Was told by customer support that Xfinity no longer supports 3rd party apps. That I would have to open a browser on my phone and sign to my account in order to send and receive emails, which is an awful work around. It's inconvenient and there's no way to attach photos to emails through the client from my phone. (Galaxy S series)

Thank you to RobM117 for initially documenting this problem. For me, since late this afternoon the Samsung Mail program is finally syncing properly with Xfinity following one more removal and adding back the Comcast account. Something was fixed on the backend.

I have the same issue with Galaxy s20 and I removed my Comcast email account from the email app and then added it back in manually as a POP3 for now until they fix this issue and that works fine and allows you to get all your email but will not sync with your computer.

Going on 3 days now. The world is going to hell. Banks cant make deposits, emails not syncing, and comcast's prices are through the roof.
