How to change pop3 comcast email account to imap

I want to access my comcast email on at least 2 different devices using Microsoft Office 365 Outlook (which is web based). To do this, I need to change my comcast email account from pop3 to imap. The instructions on comcast support seem to be outdated. Does someone have a more current set of instructions. Thank you.

You don't need to "change the account to IMAP", you just need to set up Outlook for IMAP:

Incoming Mail Server Name: imap.comcast.net
Incoming Mail Server Port Number: 993 with SSL ON
Outgoing Mail Server Name: smtp.comcast.net
Outgoing Mail Server Port Number: 587 (SMTP)
Encryption: TLS (use SSL if TLS isn't shown.)
Authentication: Type in your Comcast.net email address and password
