Cannot access Comcast email account; error 403 is not from Comcast?

Recently, after entering my Name/Password for my Comcast.net email account, Error Msg 403 pops up suggesting wait and try again, and to keep it our little secret ???.
This is not a msg from Comcast, I've just talked to them. I am using verson 3.6.25 on a pre-Intel iMac desktop.
Email can be accessed through Safari with no problem.

Hi, PDG, welcome to Apple's user-to-user Discussion Forums.
Compuserve - brings back memories - I was a member for years and years.
Anyway, Safari is one of the strictist browsers when it comes to rendering pages and scripts. I would first try another Mac browser, such as Firefox, to see if it is Safari that is the problem or if it is because there might be some Windows-specific coding involved. Let us know what happens.

  • I cannot access my email account

    I cannot access my email account
    It asks for my password when I put it in doesn't accept it
    How do I find what my password is

    This has to be resolved by your mail service provider. Call them and have them tell you how to create a new password and save it.

  • I am unable to access my AOL (netscape) mail suddenly - I follow aol's suggestions and still cannot access my email account (although I am able to change password, etc)

    I am unable to access my aol (netscape.net) email account. I followed aol's suggestions and still cannot get my emails. I am able to change my password and account settings though

    If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well.  I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them.  I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
    If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?

    Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

  • Cannot access yahoo email account

    although I can open my yahoo account, when I click on mail, on this computer, it seems to be in a permanent loop - login.yahoo...., flashing in the address page., and it never stops. I can access my email through Internet Explorer and another PC but not this one.
    And when I try to bookmark the page (that is continually changing or at least seems to be) here is what is says: https://login.yahoo.com/config/mail?.intl=us&.done=http%3A%2F%2Fus.mg4.mail.yahoo.com%2Fdc%2Flaunch%3F.gx%3D0%26.rand%3Ddi7d7m2rvo3fr

    No, I'm using classic. When I sign in it show that I have 2 accounts on the left side. It always works with my original account, but when I try to access the other account that I added with my website that I have with yahoo it does nothing. I never had to sign out and sign into the other account before, I would just click from one account to the next. I also get an error message all the time that says that I have been signed out of chat because I signed in on another system, but I am not? I do wish to continue using yahoo mail. I just hope to get this resolved so I can use my mac which I love. Thanks.

  • I cannot access my email account to change my iCloud Id

    I am trying to change the iCloud account on my dons phone so we can use the find my phone app, it brings up an old email account which no longer exists and I cannot remember the password to which it asks for when I try to delete the account. How can I log into it with my new details

    Try go to https//appleid.apple.com from your computer, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Cannot access yahoo email account when I have been able for 6 years.

    I am unable to log into my yahoo email account on my Mac OS X. This is very sudden. I have been able to for 6 years. I CAN access on a PC. I have never had this problem. I have never set up the mail program on Mac OS X.

    No, it will not affect anything but Safari. I do this regularly anyway (in my case with Firefox because I prefer it over Safari). The cache remembers websites you've visited and, when internet connections were slow, then that was handy because the browser would reload the page from memory instead of reloading it fresh. With faster internet connections today, it is no longer of the same importance - it does speed up things a bit initially, but I haven't noticed any difference. Cookies are set by every site you visit - the only ones you might want to keep are cookies from your bank, financial institution, etc so they remember your machine when you log in. Other than that, they are a marketing tool and completely superfluous. And history is again something the computer remembers that you've visited a site before.

  • Safari -- cannot access CompuServe email account

    Hello, I've got new Mac hw/sw, first time in many years after longtime Windows usage. Safari 2.0.1 -- I can't access my CompuServe email account from Safari, when I enter my ID and PW on this page:
    http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/menu/
    the URL flashes back and forth a few times and then finally returns with the message:
    "The service you are trying to reach is temporarily unavailable - please try your request again.."
    In the meantime, I can go to my Windows pc and access the email with no problems.
    Does Safari not work with CompuServe email on the internet?
    Regards -- PDG

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 4 and cannot access my email account-it was set up with the wrong email address. How do I resolve this issue?

    i have an i phone 4 and it has been set up with the wrong email address. How can I rest the email address?

    Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID?  Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
    If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

  • Changed my email address n cannot access old email account and my grand daughter had changed my password n i have no way to access my account  please help me

    if the primary emailaddress is your current emailaddress, just go to iforgot.apple.com , enter your Apple ID and have a mail sent to you.
    You can also try using the security questions if you can answer them correctly or call AppleCare for assistance.

  • Cannot access my email, Sending of password did not succeed. Authentication failed.

    Was able to use my Thunderbird Mozilla email on both computers and then suddenly on both I rc'd msg that, "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server incoming Verizon.net responded Authentication Failed".
    On the computer that I use all the time, I played around with it and all of a sudden it was "fixed". No idea what I did.
    Today I turned on the other computer that is only used by the Grandkids for games, etc., and received the same msg and decided it was time to fix but am not able to figure out how.

    Best starting point is to remove all stored passwords for the affected accounts.
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]|Security|Passwords→Saved Passwords.
    Use the filter at the top to locate all entries relating to the affected account.

  • Firefox updated to 19.0.2 and now cannot access aol emails...simply will not open; OS windows 7, 64bit -- what's the fix?

    after update to Firefox 19.0.2 supposedly optimized for aol, browser seems to work fine except for aol mail.
    AOL mail opens, however after selecting new mail it will not allow one to open a new email by double clicking the message as is a normal way to open an email. It can be opened by right clicking the selected email message and selecting open in new window; however this mail cannot be replied to, saved or any other option as the option buttons on top of new window are inoperable. What's the fix- never was a problem in earlier versions of Firefox

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • HT1918 My old apple ID comes up and I cannot access my iTunes account.  I do not know how to change my account on the iPad.  I have already chant

    My old apple ID is on my iPad, after I changed my ID on my iPhone

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I cannot access my email that my verification answers were sent to

    Hi, I have tried to contact apple many times. I have got them to send me an email to my emails but I have not used my email and will not allow me to go into my account. As I cannot access this email account I cannot get my information to change my verification questions and answers. Thank you

    How did you contact Support ? If you don't have access to your rescue email account then Support in your country should be able to reset the questions for you - contact is normally by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - is that how you contacted them ?
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then update your rescue email address to an account that you have access to for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
