Unable to connect to mail server.

Trying to use my xfinity email from the xfinity appsuite page.  First error I kept getting was, "The connection to remote server imap-east.ge.xfinity.com was refused or timed out while attempting to connect. Please try again later."  Tried to find help w/the bot and had it run through the restart of my (xfinity provided) modem.  No help.  Installed a windows update and restarted my computer.  Now I get this error message, "Unable to connect to mail server. Possible reasons: The mail server is (temporarily) down or there are network connection problems. Please try again in a few minutes."

The only issue I can see on my end is that IPv6 has no internet connection.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if servers or down or there's something wrong w/my connection? 

And if the latter, advise of solution?

Thank you.

Moved to Email as this is not Accessibility/disability related.

I keep getting it as well. Comcast is getting worse instead of getting better. Also too many spam emails I cant block.

I've also been having this problem and it started approximately 5 days ago.  At first I had sporadic access to my email and now no access at all

I am having this issue as well past three days .... infuriating when working 'server not available' and error message popups!  Customer Service lacking  .... just try to speak with a live representative when there is an issue; all you can do is  go to their App and chat which is a waste of time and no resolution ..... no, no, no!  Fix it Xfinity, patience is thin and causing me to need look for more dependable service.
