POP3 Server Not working

I am having the exact same issue (started Dec 8) with Outlook trying to receive email via POP3 server

Having the same issues as of this morning.

Trust me here.  I have wasted MANY hours on this thinking I had [Edited: "Language"] up my Thunderbird client 

It has become abundantly clear to me that the fault lies 100% with Comcast pop3 servers. 

I SUSPECT it has to do with their changeover to Yahoo.

I could get relief from time to time by using a VPN and trying to retrieve emails with Thunderbird from other towns.  It actually worked now and then.

I HOPE I'm good now without having to "move" to a different town.

This is a pathetic situation and I feel really sorry for folks who need their Comcast pop3server to work.

Hopefully things will return to normal soon.

Comcast is horrible.

I will report my Thunderbird pop3 settings that are working at the moment in a few minutes.

Take it all back.

Accidentally closed Thunderbird.

Back to VPN land

I am having the same issue, seems a DNS issue did the IP address change on xfinity side for pop3.comcast.net?

Well, I surrender.  It asked for my password (not sure why) and the new messages magically appeared 

Here are my settings, for what they are worth.

Your results may vary.

I am going to try to install Thunderbird on another computer to see if the defaults recommended by Thunderbird are the same as my settings.

Server Type: POP Mail Server

Server Name: pop3comcast.net  Port 995

Fresh install on another computer now downloading 12,168 files.

Only difference from my Server Settings is this Thunderbird default.....

Can't decide if I should change my settings.....

If it ain't broke.......
