In other words, Thunderbird was not able to link up with my Comcast e-mail program. No matter what I do, the result is the same. Priorly when I had a DSL e-mail/Internet connection hook-up, I had Thunderbird installed and it worked like a charm. I find the program absolutely wonderful. It is all anyone would want in an e-mail program. Not to be able to use it is quite upsetting.   I have spent days/hours attempting to get this program going. Nothing I do works. Program does not recognize my Comcast e-mail program and that's it.  ANYONE?? Is this a fresh Thunderbird installation on a new computer? Or are you re-using an old Thunderbird profile from a different computer? The few references I find of that error message seem to be about importing address books or profiles that reference file locations that are no longer valid.   You might try creating a brand new profile, in case the one you're trying to use is corrupt.

I found something VERY interesting....   If, instead of Comcast/Xfinity's recommended email settings, I use my user name ONLY (that is, the prefix of your email address, omitting the "@comcast.net" bit, I can then retrieve my email via mobile data. This is contrary to Comcast's published directions.   Again, if you are having trouble retrieving Comcast email while using a mobile data connection, go into your email app's settings and get rid of the "@comcast.net" part of your Username, using your ID name ONLY. I think you will find it now works Scratch that. It worked for several hours, but now I'm again getting the same error as I first reported, the one about the "blacklisted IP Address", and I can't retrieve email when using a mobile data connection, although wifi works. ...

I tried to have my daughter email me from her Gmail account and it shows sent on her end, but I have not received that either. I have no junk emails.. nothing at all. Sharma going on? You don't describe your problem well enough to make a real suggestion, but if, like me you are having trouble retrieving email while using a mobile data connection, rather than WiFi, check out my posting here:   https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Email-Web-Browsing/Can-t-retrieve-email-via-mobile-data/m-p/3200260/highlight/true#M206952   Who's "Sharma"? ...

@RedVan wrote: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2406399 See #23 Thanks for the pointer. That explains it pretty well. It's odd that the bug didn't hit me until now, although maybe it was something in a recent Mint update. I'm sure it will be fixed soon and the workarounds are acceptible for now. ... View more

@abbypatch wrote: Windows 10. Xfinity online email site. Trying to read email. trying to delete email (?) on Xfinity.. Funny, it seems to have straightened out for now. But why did this happen in the first place? I keep getting messages that comcast email is out of date. Yet, I don't use the comcast email. I read and delete them on the Xfinity website. I've been having a related problem. Midday today I stopped being able to access my IMAP mail on Comcast via Thunderbird and Claws Mail on Linux. But!... I *am* still able to get to it on my Windows machines and on my Android phone! I kept getting "Cannot connect" and "connection refused" error messages. I eventually got a hint to change the IMAP server name from imap.comcast.net to imap.ge.xfinity.com -- and it now works. This has not been necessary on any of my other devices, just the Linux one.   Can anyone suggest why only the Linux machine is having trouble, and not the Windows or Android ones? I'm going to keep an eye on this - I have a feeling I'm going to have to change it back to imap.comcast.net before long. ... View more
