Comcast Mail on iPAD

I have my Comcast mail set up on my iPad. It is set up as a POP account. I have it set up to delete a message from the server after I have deleted it from the inbox. It does not happen. Several minutes later, all the messages download again. This costs a lot of money when you are traveling internationally. Any ideas on how to not have them re-download?

Comcast has an Mail app. You might want to think about using that instead of the Apple Mail app. Maybe they wrote the app t get around the problem you noted. There site is very sparse on setup for iDevices.

    How do I read comcast mail in iPad. It will not open.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Comcast has had a longtime standing problem with their SMTP servers. I found out I had to contact their second tier tech support to get the correct mail server to be using with their service when I tried using them some 8 years ago. Boy that was an adventure. We finally found out that smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net was not what I needed. What I needed to use with a mail server on the first hop out on the traceroute to their mail server. Open Network Utility, and select traceroute. Select the mail server they assigned you. Find if you've got a different comcast address that appears first. The other thing that may help is assigning both your machine and your linksys routers an open dns DNS server: http://www.opendns.org/

  • IPad w/comcast mail

    I use comcast mail.  I can't see me address book, folders.  When I delete message on iPad, the message doesn't,t delete on non apple devices

    Comcast provides/supports a POP account only. Email account mailboxes are not kept synchronized with the server with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. If you want your email account mailboxes and messages kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account which Comcast does not provide.
    You won't see your Comcast online address book either. The iPad is designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With some email accounts, you can sync contscts over the air such as with a MobileMe account and with a Gmail account. Comcast doesn't support this either.

  • Comcast mail

    I just finished getting off the phone wt Comcast. I've been on the phone wt them, several times, related to email, and all of their mail settings are correct. They told me that if I have more then one email client when using apple mail, the one I used last will take control of my Comcast mail settings, it wasn't Comcast. They said this can sometimes cause me to get a upside down triangle, next to my Comcast mail box. This error symbol periodically appears, and then just as mysteriously vanishes. They told me that Comcast has to be the primary email, and having other inboxes will screw up Comcast mail settings. I currently have an iCloud, Yahoo, and Comcast account set up in Mac Mail. My yahoo, and iCloud mail always seems to work great, but Comcast goes down a lot. My primary mail is iCloud, but Comcast tells me that their mail will always eventually fail, unless it is the only client in Mac Mail. Does that sound correct, or are they feeding me a bunch of bull? Also, does anyone have any other ideas, as to why this error occasionally occurs, and how to fix it. I'm not entirely sure it is entirely Comcast's fault, since I had no problem getting mail wt them prior to downloading Yosemite.

    I Have had Comcast Xfinity Internet and email since I first got broadband service years ago. I have four different email accounts on my two iPads, iPhone, and on my Mac. I use the Mac Mail app on my MacBook Pro and I am also running the most up to date Yosemite 10.10.2. Comcast is feeding you a line of bull cookies. I have no problems at all with any of the email accounts on any of my devices. Not only do I not have any problems with any of the accounts, but I am running Comcast as an IMAP and as a POP account on all devices including the Mac, so once again, the Comcast support people know not of what they speak.
    I have never heard of having the last email account hijack the settings for another email account like the Comcast "support" person is claiming.

  • How can we send multiple attachments in a mail from iPad 2

    Hi,
    I am using a ipad2. I want to know how we can send multiple attachments through mail from iPad. I did not find any option of doing this. Is there a way to do this.
    Regards,
    Satyabrat

    You can't do it natively on the iPad (unless you just want to send up to 5 photos from the Photos app). I use the GoodReader app which supports quite a few document/file types (e.g. PDF, Excel, Word, pictures), and from that I can select multiple files (including different types) and attach them to the same email.

  • FF 5 running on windows 7 has suddenly stopped allowing access to comcast mail, but this is not a problem under Snow Leopard

    I am running the latest version of firefox on a windows 7 laptop and Mac desktop. The windows version was allowing access to comcast email until it suddenly stopped. It won't let me open any email on the summary page or view the entire inbox. Opening firefox in safe mode does not eliminate the problem. I have no problem accessing comcast mail on the MAC or with Chrome, Safari or IE on the laptop.

    Hi Steve1904,
    So you have use the backup and Restore to restore your files from Windows XP to Windows 7 directly?
    This should be considered not work.
    If you would like to transfer files between Windows XP and Windows 7, you need another tool called Windows Easy Transfer.
    See the article below if you would like to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7:
    Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
    If possible, follow the steps there, then things should be OK.
    Best regards

  • How do you create new maps in Mail on iPad?

    How do you create new maps in Mail on iPad?
    In the iPad-manual they mention you can put messages in other mailboxes or maps (to free up the Inbox).
    But they don't mention how to create such maps.
    In the app itself I can't find a way to do it.
    thanks for all replies
    Kamiel

    Maybe you are confused by the fact I used the word 'maps' instead of 'folders' (my natural Ianguage is Dutch).
    For your question about the manual: on page 59 in the 'iPad 2 user guide' under 'organizing Email' they say you can move messages to a different mailbox or folder.

  • Disappearing GMail messages with Apple Mail for iPad

    I'm using Mail for iPad to access my GMail account. When I organize messages into different folders using Mail, I often find that some of those messages simply disappear, unless I search for them. This happens regardless of when they were sent (they're not older messages cached on the server).
    As an example, a message I received Sunday was placed in a folder. When scrolling back through that folder, the message does *not* appear anywhere, not between the Monday and Saturday messages. However, if I search for that sender, the message *does* appear and says it was received on Sunday, as it was.
    I wish I understood why this is happening, as it doesn't seem to make much sense. Thanks for any help!

    I have each device to leave message on the server.  We have it set up this way so that my wife and I can see all the mail that comes into our own devices.  Then we can delete off each device as desired.  I go in to the server once a month and delete old mail.
    So to recap:  My wife's macpro uses apple mail.  it retrieves the mail from the server; but leaves it on the server.  However, though the email is still on the server, the other devices cannot retrieve the email.  it is like the email is old email that your device has already uploaded; but it hasn't uploaded to the other devices because my wife's mac opens the inbox on server first.
    I know that this sounds confusing.  it did not always work this way.  for a long time any of our devices could open the inbox on the server, retrieve the messages and leave the email on the server inbox for the other devices.  this issue is new.

  • TS3899 After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the  mail software package  crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

    I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
    Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

  • Is there a way to be able to select all mail on iPad/iPhone?

    Is there a way to be able to select all mail on iPad/iPhone all together as opposed to one at a time?

    If you have iOS7 yes. In the mail list you tap 'edit' and then choose hte mails you want, then at the lower right you'll see the option to trash the mails.
    If you do not have iOS7 then you cannot mass delete.

  • We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

    We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

    Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)
