Can't send or receive comcast e-mail

Can't send or receive e-mail on my iMac through Comcast for about 2 months now. Same problem with all users set up in the computer. Can connect ok to the internet, but can't access www.comcast.net unless I reset Safari, then can only access once. Tried setting up new mail account, but get error message that it can't connect to server mail.comcast.net. Comcast blames it on last apple software update. I don't think that's the problem. Tried changing ports from 995 to 587 and 465 with no luck. Uncheck SSL box, no luck. Reset cable modem box, got incoming mail once, then no more. Outgoing mail still would not send. Not much help from the blogoshpere.
Any good suggestions out there?

Hi BGreg,
Thanks. My e-mail has been set up and working fine since I bought the iMac a few years ago. Problem with e-mail started at the end of March. I've checked all of the settings per the instructions on setting up the account. I've been on the phone with Comcast to troubleshoot and they are unable to help. Not sure why I can't even access Comcast.net without resetting safari. I have no trouble with the e-mail account on my PC (same Comcast account). Both my and my wife e-mail on the iMac don't work. Not sure what else it could be with the iMac. Comcast blames iMac software update for the problem. iMac software is up to date.
Thanks

Can't send or receive on e mail - or bring up e mail portion of Firefox

Have been using ( & prefer Firefox) but all of a sudden I CAN'T SEND OR RECEIVE E MAIL. I can use e mail successfully on Outlook Express - but prefer Firefox. Also, I can still, for example, bring up my bank account, TDAmeritrade, Stockcharts, etc. with no problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Just this morning

Email frozen, connection doctor say ok but can't send or receive through apple mail. Works ok when opened using safari

My apple e-mail has suddenly stopped working. Connection doctor say everything is fine (no connection problems) If accessed through safari account works fine. Also have had to "force quit" on a number of occassions. Any help much appreciated.
Am a bit miffed with apple wanting payment to fix something that appears to be a bug on a machine that is less than 1 yr old

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

All of a sudden I am unable to receive e-mail through comcast on my PC. I am able to send e-mail. I can receive comcast e-mail on my phone and tablet

All of a sudden I am unable to receive e-mail through comcast on my PC. I am able to send e-mail. I can receive comcast e-mail on my phone and tablet. One help topic suggested I delete the password for my comcast mail and that I would be prompted to set up a new password. No such prompt appeared. I am wondering about help for this problem. I'm also wondering if I can delete the account nd add it again and what would be the ramifications of doing so.

check the settings in your mail settings, outgoing server. If your ipad is ok, compare the settings with the ones on the phone

HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

Is this on wifi or cellular data?
Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

Can't send or receive e-mail on EDGE network

Just recently I can't send or receive e-mail on the EDGE network - both work fine on WIFI though.
Safari and all other features work fine on EDGE and WIFI so it's an e-mail issue. I am using an IMAP account, no SSL, Incoming port 143, Outgoing port 587. After trying to connect for some time, sometimes I get a "cannot connect to server" message but usually no message at all.
I would really appreciate some advice

Am in Olympia WA for the holiday - I live in San Diego - I agree started two days ago. I spent 3 hours with Apple Support - they conferenced in ATT and they were no help. Eventually - I did a restore and did not change a thing. Am using 1.1.2.
Something happened late monday as it was fine sat - mon night. Since I do not live in WA - I assume things will be OK when I return to CA. Giving ATT a call might help - but you will definately need to get it escalated to a higher level.
I have sent this forum link to the great apple T3 support person that spent so much time with me - hopefully he will forward on to ATT and it will get resolved for all of you. Something did change on Monday night.

Most of the time I'd suspect one of 2 other things...
orange.fr has changed their authentication without telling their users.
Malformed eMails clogging up both ways.
So anyway, did Connection Doctor say it connected or not? What was exact error if there were some?
Can you login to their Webmail in a Btowser?

Can I send and receive e-mails on my iPad through Verizon?

Can I send and receive e-mails on my Ipad (third generation) the same as I do on my iPhone 4s? Both are through Verizon. And if I can, where do I set it up at? Thanks.

Yes. Why couldn't you use the same email account?

TS3899 While messing with my two step verification I inadvertinely did something to disconnect myself from my gmail account that is on my mac mail. I can't send or receive any mail

while messing with my two step verification on my gmail account I inadvertently did sometime to my gmail account on my Mac mail. I can't send or receive mail. Any thoughts

When it asks for the password, typically this is a random number sent to you via text message from Google. I get a new code everytime I want to add a new device or log into from a new computer. It can get very annoyingif you access your account from various computers or devices. Once its working its not bad though. You may want to go back in and turn the 2 step authentication off.

Have you an Internet connection? If not, unplug router for a few minutes and try again. Power down your iPad and start it up again. If still no success delete the account an set it up again.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
