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:
- Go to your AT&T Profile.
- Sign in with your AT&T email and password.
- Navigate to the Sign-in info tab.
- Select your AT&T email account and locate the Secure Mail Key section.
- Select Manage secure mail keys.
- Select Create a secure mail key and give it a nickname (like "Gmail").
- 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
- Open Gmail on your computer and click the Gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner. [1, 2, 3]
- Click See all settings.
- Go to the Accounts and Import tab. [1]
- Look for the Check mail from other accounts section and click Add a mail account. [1, 2]
- Enter your full AT&T email address and click Next.
- Select Import emails from my other account (POP3) and click Next. [1, 2, 3]
- 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]- 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]
- 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

Well, OK, but what does that have to do with Comcast migrating its email to Yahoo? Comcast is not AT&T, and neither is Yahoo. And it doesn't seem likely that someone who is NOT an AT&T customer would be able to "Go to [their] AT&T Profile".
If you are trying to fetch mail from Comcast's servers, that won't work for accounts migrated to Yahoo. You'd need to be using Yahoo's servers. See "IMAP, POP and SMTP settings for other third-party email clients" on https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-yahoo-mail/SLN36803.html :
ETA: I appears that you do need a "Secure Mail Key" to set up access to your Comcast.net-on-Yahoo email account from Gmail or other 3rd party email providers. But you don't get if from AT&T, you get it from Yahoo, which calls it an "app password". See https://help.yahoo.com/kb/new-yahoo-mail/generate-manage-rd-party-passwords-sln15241.html.

If you sign in to your gmail account, click on the gear icon, then "see all settings"
Click on the Accounts and Import tab and go from here.
