Unable to send email

I’ve read the previous responses to this issue and gone thru the fixes in settings. I cannot find a direct message icon on my Xfinity app and the chat is no help. Can someone please help? This hasn’t happened before and I’m baffled

You'll need to wait for an Official Employee to invite you to send a direct message.

Hi there rialinn, and thanks for checking in with us in our community! I definitely don't want you to be held back from sending emails normally, so rest assured we'll do everything we can to help 💪 Can you start by giving us some additional details about the issue you're experiencing such as how you access your email and where exactly you're running into the issue at?

Hi, thanks for this!

Step 1: third party access is on

 Step 2: i changed the settings and when i hit “Done” a popup came on saying “The POP server “imap.comcast.net” is not responding. Check your connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field”

Thanks for checking. Can you verify the third-party mail service you're using for your email?

This is a little confusing for me. Can you help me figure that out?

 I’m signing on as (email)@comcast.net

This is referring to the platform you use to check your emails on your phone. This includes, platforms like iOS Mail, Outlook and Spark Mail, among others.

I’m not sure if this answers your question but i have an iPhone and im using the mail icon that all my emails are stored under

 

When i pulled up my email on the phone’s browser all current email seems to come up and I’m able to send mail

Okay thank you that would be the iOS Mail app. I'm glad to know your email is working perfectly by using our Xfinity mail service through your browser, so there must be something impacting your mail app from Apple's end to not be connecting. Can you try going into the settings from your mail app and remove your Xfinity email account entirely to add it brand new?

Continuing:

 Step 3: There is no “Outbox” or “Sent” folder in my Comcast email (only “Inbox” and “Junk”)

 Step 4: i checked them all and they are correct. I’m only using my home WiFi network as I’ve been home for several days. 

Thoughts?
