E-Mail and Xfinity Connect Help

[AlexandraH]

I am trying to add two existing Comcast email accounts to a new Samsung Galaxy S3 cell phone. I have followed the steps to manually configure using the following information:

Account Name & password

Type of Account: POP3

User Name: My account name
Password: My password 

POP3 server: mail.comcast.net

Security type: SSL

Port: 995

I have also tried using:

User name: My account name followed by @comcast.net

Security type: SSL (Accept all certificates)

Port: 995

And:

Seciruty type: None

Port: 110

None of these settings will work. I receive the error message with any type of confirguation: Unable to connect to server

Hello, I had the same problem but this worked for me.

Enter your name and your password then enter the following in the appropriate spaces:

Pop3 Server: mail.comcast.net

Security Type: SSL

Port # 995

Outgoing Server: smtp.comcast.net

Security Type: SSL

Outgoing Port: 465

This does not work on my Galaxy S3. I have tried all configs and I keep getting "Server does not support authentication" for outgoing server.

Maybe try using 587 without SSL for smtp port.
