Sending mail using Comcast Account

Hi Guys,
I am pretty sure I've set up the mail account on the Iphone right. Problem is that I can't send mail. It tries but then says:
Cannot connect to "smtp.comcast.net"
Help!
Thanks,
Andy

Hello. Posted below is some info you can check on your end.
Go to Settings-Mail- Tap on your account- Go to Advanced.
incoming uses SSL needs to be "ON"
Outgoing uses SSL needs to be "ON"
Authentication needs to be selected for "Password"
How do I check my Comcast email on my iPhone?
You can setup your iPhone to check your Comcast email accounts by entering your Comcast account settings directly on your iPhone.
If this is the first account you??re setting up on iPhone, select Mail. Otherwise, from the Home screen choose Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
Under the email account type section choose Other.
Select POP as the server type and enter your account information.
Your email address: [email protected]
The email server type (POP)
Incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
Outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Enter your username and password. Your username is the part of your email address before the @ symbol.
You may need to add your username and Comcast password to the Outgoing server settings. Where it says optional. Type username as your full email address. followed by your email password below.
let us know how this works

  • Cannot Send Mail using AIM account.

    I can receive mail fine but when I try to send mail I get the following message:
    Cannot send mail using the server smtp.aim.com:EmilyLozano.
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
    Message from: Emily Lozano <[email protected]>
    I left for a trip a few days ago, came back and now for no apparent reason cannot send mail as I always have. I have reconfigured the port to 587 and that did not help. Any suggestions? (I can send and receive fine via the web, but I really hate it.)

    I'm glad you got it figured out. So many times people on this forum sit around waiting for help when they could have retraced their steps, like you did, to figure out the source of the problem.

  • Mail using Comcast Account

    For mail enabled web sites, where you click on an "email us" link, the MAC opens up mail on the laptop. I do not use .mac mail but rather comcast, my internet provider. How can I redirect this default to look for my comcast account?

    Welcome to the forums!
    Do you use a webmail version of Comcast's email client (i.e. you access your email through Safari or another browser)? If so, you cannot set up "mailto:" links to open you Comcast email. You can, however, ctrl-click (or 2-finger-click if you have that enabled) on the mailto: link, select Copy Link from the contextual menu, then open your Comcast webmail, and Paste into the To: field. You will need to delete the mailto: part of the pasted link, leaving just the address.
    However, if you access Comcast through POP, then you can configure Mail to check mail and send from your Comcast email account. When you first launch mail, it should walk you through the process of entering your account info, POP and SMTP servers (Comcast's web page should list these), etc.
    FYI, you are encouraged to mark responses to your questions as Helpful or Solved, as described here.

  • Can't send mail on Comcast accounts

    I have turned on servers, entered all info. Correctly.  Every time I try to send an email, the message comes back that i have not entered my password.  It has been entered numerous times.  Same problem on iPad. Any suggestions?

    also contacted Comcast.  They suggested I download their app for email.  Finally looked into Comcast forums and got some info.  I did a bunch of stuff so not sure which one helped..  I made sure password was typed into smpt outgoing. From setting tap mail, then tap smpt and there will be a place to put password.  Next I took the advice from forum and worked on my email account. I had 12,000 (no kidding) emails in my inbox.  I got rid of all spam, unneeded stuff and put all the rest in a temporary folder.  That seemed to so do the trick. I can now send emails. 
    In the Comcast forums there are also screen shots to show you exacly how to configure email for iPhone 5, though it seems the same for iPad, etc. 
    Hope this helps. 

  • The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 1 (2013-04-30T16:36:52). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client does not

    Interesting db mail issue. If i click send test mail from sql mgmt studio, it works fine, but when i execute a SP to send a mail, it fails. One thing I noticed is that the "LastModified" column in the mail log shows the domain account when a test
    mail was sent from mgmt studio, but show "sa" when the SP was used to send mail. 
    This is from SQL 2012, did not see this in sql 2008, looks like 2008 always used the service account.  any ideas ?
    Get this error:

    Thanks.
    Ranga

    Hi Ranga,
    I also use SQL Server 2012. I send a test email through SQL Server Management and the last modified By “sa”.
    If you used stored procedure to send a test email. Please use the command below:
    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
    @profile_name = 'Adventure Works Administrator',
    @recipients = '[email protected]',
    @body = 'The stored procedure finished successfully.',
    @subject = 'Automated Success Message' ;
    I can both send test email through SQL Server Management Studio and SP. Make sure you have the right profile. Since you could send test mail via SQL Server Management Studio, please try again to send it via SP.
    Thanks.

  • Can receive mail using comcast but not using mail on ipad

    I can receive and send mail using my comcast app but can only receive mail using the mail app but not send.

    Been there and done that with the Comcast email account on my iPad. Specifically ...
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    "I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

    Hi there tamarafromdarien,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
    If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
    If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
    “This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
    In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
    Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
    Click the Account Information tab.
    Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
    Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
    If you're attaching a large file
    Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

  • Can't send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks. Incoming messages OK.

    I'm unable to send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks.  Incoming is OK. Any suggestions on how to resolve, please?

    I'm afraid that I have the very same problem. How did Apple not see this. Surly email is a major part of any opperating system and should have being more than double checked before releasing. I understand software glitches but this is a major pain in the backside. I'm totally stuck and can't use my macbook pro

  • Can not send mail with google account

    I have the Ipad in the 3G model but I am unable to send mail using my google account that is linked to it. If I was to go on the internet on it and send things through google it would let me but I need to be able to send attchments off the ipad so need to be able to use the mail app. I keep getting a message saying Cannont send mail the sender address was invalid. Please help

    I am having alot of trouble with my ipad(3G) and mail using gmail push set up using exchange server. It seems like every couple days it will not send mail and says unknown recepient or invalid. Then the next day it will work. I've deleted and set up the email account a few times. Same thing happens. If I just use a normal non push gmail account that works fine, but I'd like the gmail push to work. I have a strong wireless signal when this happens.
    Any ideas?

  • Cant send mail using hotspot

    Hi.  I have started using my iPhone 4S as a WiFi hotspot for my MBP when on the road.  Mail collects from all my accounts ok but I cant send any mails from my MBP thru the Hotspot connection.  I dont get any error message, just the spinning icon next to the sent mailbox and no info in the activity window.  Any ideas welcome.  thanks

    Are you sending mail using a Broadband provider account?
    For instance, Virgin Media Mail can only be send through the Virgin Media Sever when you are actually connected to your Virgin Media line (at home)
    An attempt to send mail using the outgoiong server smtp.virgin.com will be blocked if it isn't coming down one of their own lines.
    To cure it, you'll need to add a different smtp server to our mail account that can be used while youo're out an about. Normally this would be the smtp server that your phone company gives you i.e smtp.orange.co.uk or whatever.

  • Cant send mail using selected server

    I havent been able to send mail using my normal 587port with SSL selected.
    Can someone help me???

    A .Mac account has a 10 MB message size limit for incoming and sent messages and attachments must be encoded before being sent which increases the size of the pre-encoded attachment by 50% or so. A single 6 MB attachment can be over 10MB due to the encoding process.

    I have to agree with you , I too was disappointed to see that with IOS 4 on my iphone I still cant send from an alias. This is a feature thats available with the .me web access so why not the iphone mail app? If they can't do it, then at least let me be able to use .me via safari on the iphone and ipad.
