Samsung Email app can not verify xfinity account

@XfinityGabriel​ yes, i can access it via my web browser.  the issue is with the Samasung Email app on my Galaxy phone.  i am trying to add the account, and for some reason the app can not verify the account.  it reads:  "Couldn't Verify Account.  Couldn't connect to your account.  Check your account and server information, then try again"

@XfinityGabriel​ it's a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G

@Lou_and_Linda Glad to hear you can access it via your web browser. Here is a link you can use to make sure all your settings are correct for the email servers:
Get Comcast Email on Mobile Devices

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S22+ and having the exact same issue and took the same steps as the original post. My email last synced with my phone at approximately 1am Eastern time. 

My wife and i have s24+ and are having the same issue as of about 1 AM (east coast) last night.  I am NOT having this issue with a different email acvount that is not a comcast email address.  

I have read every article and tried every suggestion, to no avail.   Is there a solution?

Hi

I'm having the same issue 

They have changed their settings inside the Xfinity Email settings. Log into your Xfinity Email. Once your inside click on the gear icon on the top right corner. Go select settings. Then Security. Then check the box to allow 3rd Party Apps to have access to your Email. Once I did this it instantly let me sign back into my Samsung Email App without any issues.

I still could open up my emails on my laptop, and on my phone through the Xfinity website.

However after about the 25th attempt ( seriously, I probably actually tried more than that) at reinstalling the Xfinity account on my Samsung email, it went through. Don't forget to go into your Xfinity email account, assuming you can access it through some other means, Under settings and allow Third party access. I had allowed this all along so I don't know if that was a factor.

But ultimately I was able to reestablish the Xfinity account via Samsung email after several hours and dozens of tries. Also if you were trying to reestablish the account after having deleted a large amount of emails, it may have taken a while to clear the cache of old emails and maybe it wouldn't go through because of that- I did delete upwards of 5k emails several hours ago. So maybe it took a while to clear that and wouldn't sync properly until that was done.

Been trying for 9 hours, I think it should have cleared in that time.

@user_f2pmaf​ good to know. I did the Samsung chat and they had me clear cache and data which I did. Un-installed and reinstalled Samsung app multiple times. Frustrating. They say they're working on it.

Just as an added note, the situation seems to happen to me about every three or four months. Usually I can reset it within two or three tries by uninstalling and reinstalling it on Samsung mail. About half the time the issue is related to an excess accumulation of emails, but not always, at least from what I can tell. So hopefully deleting those 5,000 emails will prevent this from happening again for a long while.

Same here, it's working again for me
