secondary email account stopped working
For some reason, my secondary comcast email account stopped working today.
Outlook reports "Your IMAP server wants to alert to the following: 1014".
Web mail reports "The entered credential or authentication information does not work or are no longer accepted by provider. Please change them."
Neither Outlook nor web mail has a problem with the primary email account.
I've tried changing the email password on the secondary account via the settings on the https://connect.xfinity.com/ website but it gives me a "The entered credential or authentication information does not work or are no longer accepted by provider. Please change them" message.
I've also tried both SMTP values for the Outgoing Mail Server Port Number: 587 and 465 (SMTPS)
Nothing has worked

Same here. I use my secondary account for business. I want some kind of compensation for business that I am losing. Has anyone been able to restore their email account?

Ran my normal Windows Update (every 2nd Tuesday of the month) to see if it made any difference with this Comcast email issue.
After finishing update and rebooting, the problem still occurs both on the webmail access and Outlook.

I have the same issue, been working for years on this computer and now stopped working for 2 secondary comcast accounts. I found that if I set one of these secondary accounts as the primary email address on my laptop it works.

Same here with my secondary account. It somehow 'quit' during the first part of September, and as of now, I still cannot gain access to it. Primary email works fine. Yahoo email account also works fine. But my secondary Comcast.net email address is not accessible. HELP!
