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 called Comcast/Xfinity about this yesterday. My phone is doing the same thing. I was told they're working on a solution, but there was no fix right now. They started getting complaints a few days ago. My syncing issues started the 6th. Now I log into Xfinity to get my emails. It's a pai

I finely got it to work.
Every time I removed my email then added it back in, after I entered my ID, it took be directly to a web page for MFA (multi factor authentication)
To get around the MFA, prior to entering my ID, I entered my password first. Then I added my ID. This seems to work. It’s been working for the past 3 days (knock on wood)

Well, here we go again. Yesterday, I was able to resolve the issue by deleting my email account from the Samsung app, then adding it back as a new account. Today, at bout 11:20, up pops a message that the app couldn't log into my email account. I was prompted to re-enter my password, which I did. It seemed to accept it. I then sent a test email to confirm that, and it was received by all my devices, including my phone. I'm guessing Comcast / Samsung are still working through the issue. I just hope they don't succeed in making toast out of the email service again.

As of 1 pm ET on Nov 10, I was prompted for id, password and 2FA. Then sync worked using Samsung email app with a comcast email address on a Samsung S21 FE phone.

As of 1245PM today Nov 10, I checked to see if the App was working. I received a message to re-enter my password. After I did that, it synced up and is working like nothing ever happened. I did that for the 2 Xfinity/Comcast email accounts that I run thru the Samsung email App, they both are working now. I never tried to fix the issue as was suggested like deleting the account or app all together - just waited to what would happen. They fixed it without issuing a statement that it was fixed. Typical of Xfinity/Comcast. And by the way, why do they use the 2 different names - having an identity crisis??

I think someone, somewhere must have fixed something. I didn't change anything but my account tried to sync again and it FINALLY prompted for my password and let me in! If you're still having an issue, I would try syncing to see if the prompt comes up. Fingers crossed it stays working!!!

I am also not able to sync my Comcast emails. I use Samsung email as default. I set up my account on Outlook. It loaded old emails but nothing for the last couple of days. My laptop gets my emails normally
I sent a test from my Gmail to my Comcast account. It showed up on my desktop, but did not show up on either mail app I was using on my phone.
Conclusion: This is Comcast issue.

I have 2 Comcast email accounts on my Samsung S22. One comcast account syncs email just fine, the second keeps failing to sync! No problems with my Gmail account loading. [Edited: "Language"], this has been going on for days, ridiculous!!

I did the above and it worked for 24 hours and now stopped syncing again. This is the 3rd time I have reset, so the problem is not resolved. Ughhhhhh

Last night I went on my phone settings (gear icon), then went down to "Accounts and backup", then to "Manage accounts", then to "Comcast EMail" which is your email account name at comcast.net.
"Sync account" shows up, turn it off wait a while, then turn it back on.
I went back to the home screen and clicked on the Comcast email and got a log in screen. After typing in my log in information the email screen came back up it started syncing.
This was around 8 pm Friday. It is still syncing today at 11am.
