IMAP/SMTP authentication blocked – need mailbox reset
My Comcast email works when I log in through webmail, but all third-party email apps (Apple Mail on iPhone and Gmail) fail to connect and return “username or password is incorrect.”
I have already:
- Reset my password multiple times
- Confirmed I am using the full email address as the username
- Verified correct IMAP (imap.comcast.net, port 993, SSL) and SMTP (smtp.comcast.net, port 587, SSL) settings
- Toggled third-party email access off and back on
- Deleted and re-added the account on my device
Despite this, authentication continues to fail in all apps.
This appears to be an IMAP/SMTP authentication block or security restriction on my mailbox. Please remove any blocks and re-enable full third-party email access.
