@jtyner - I'm running Thunderbird 60.5.1 on various machines. Setup is clean for Comcast. Set outgoing server to smtp.comcast.net In Server Settings, Server Name is imap.comcast.net; Port 993; User Name is your email address; Connection security is SSL/TLS; Authentication method is Normal password. All the other settings are up to you.

For those looking for a more direct answer, name resolution for imap.comcast.net seems to be failing recently. Users in the Ubuntu forum thread offer the resolution of changing the account's server to one of the IP addresses reported by "nslookup imap.comcast.net" (use the terminal, Luke.) Rather than using a fixed IP address, I reset the server name to imap.ge.xfinity.com (the canonical name for imap.comcast.net) then had to submit my password for the newly-named server. Works a treat.

[Me too] Thunderbird 60.2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 "Failed to connect to server imap.comast.net"

[Me too report] Last email held here at 29-Nov-2018 11:33EST, though actual time of first failure unknown, since emails since then were being handled on a Windows machine with Thunderbird. Thunderbird on Linux machine reports "Failed to connect to server imap.comcast.net" Ubuntu 18.04; Thunderbird 60.2.1 64-bit. No changes to account in the last four weeks. Windows machine also with T'Bird was used between 1133 and 1800EST; emails were processed on that machine without difficulty. Password checked in Firefox and on Android phone - both connect and handle mail with the same password.
