I want to add comcast(yahoo) email to gmail account

POP/SMTP email servers I used before transitioning to Yahoo no longer work.  Does Comcast have a solution?

AT&T generates a SECURE MAIL KEY for a password.  This is the Google instructions for AT&T:

Step 1: Generate an AT&T Secure Mail Key
Because AT&T requires extra security, you cannot use your regular webmail password in Gmail. [1, 2]
  1. Go to your AT&T Profile.
  2. Sign in with your AT&T email and password.
  3. Navigate to the Sign-in info tab.
  4. Select your AT&T email account and locate the Secure Mail Key section.
  5. Select Manage secure mail keys.
  6. Select Create a secure mail key and give it a nickname (like "Gmail").
  7. Copy the generated secure mail key (a string of letters with dashes) and keep it handy. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Step 2: Add your AT&T email to Gmail
  1. Open Gmail on your computer and click the Gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner. [1, 2, 3]
  2. Click See all settings.
  3. Go to the Accounts and Import tab. [1]
  4. Look for the Check mail from other accounts section and click Add a mail account. [1, 2]
  5. Enter your full AT&T email address and click Next.
  6. Select Import emails from my other account (POP3) and click Next. [1, 2, 3]
  7. Enter the following information:
    • Username: Your full AT&T email address.
    • Password: Paste the Secure Mail Key you generated in Step 1.
    • POP Server: pop.mail.att.net
    • Port: 995 [1]
  8. Check the boxes for your preferred options (e.g., leaving a copy of the message on the server, and always using a secure connection SSL). [1]
  9. Click Add Account.
Once saved, Gmail will automatically fetch your AT&T emails. You can also choose to set up your AT&T email to send mail from Gmail by selecting "Yes, I want to be able to send mail as [your AT&T email]" on the next screen
