Error getting mail from Comcast

We have multiple Comcast email accounts, but are getting error messages connecting to only ONE of them from only ONE of our Macs.
I tried Comcast, but they say the problem is not with them, since we can access mail through browser.
Settings seem to be the same for all accounts.
Is there a way to "clear" settings for that account only? Or any other suggestions?

I think the first thing to do would be to give your email account a fresh start.
So I'd recommend deleting the account from the iPhone. After that reset your network settings (Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings). Once your phone is back up, try re-adding the account to your iPhone.
You can use the [iPhone Mail Helper|http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper> if you need help re-adding the account.

  • IOS 4.3.3 Cannot Get Mail from Comcast Exchange Server

    I upgraded both my ipad and iphone to 4.3.3 yesterday and now I cannot access email from the Comcast Business Exchange server.   I have not changed any of the parameters on the ipad or iphone.  When I try to access the Comcast Server at mail.hmc1.comcast.net I get the message Cannot Get Mail on both my ipad and my iphone.  Everything worked great before the 4.3.3. upgrade.   All of my gmail accounts and my pop3 email account still work on the ipad and iphone.   Please help

    Have you tried removing the accounts and re-adding them? That generally seems to work in an "if all else fails" situation but I've noticed that sometimes, troubleshooting can be too stressful, and it is more worth it to spend 2 minutes re-creating the account and another 10 minutes to let everything sync up.

  • I set up two identities, the default & one more. How to get mail from the second one?

    I have two different e-mail addresses that I want to get mail from. So the main/default one worked just fine. So I went to options, account settings, identities and set up the second one. But this second one doesn't appear on the start page and still when I Get Mail, it only brings in the mail from the default one. So what do I do?

    You do not place your second account in Identities.
    You go to the Menu Bar and select '''File-New-Existing Mail Account''' and add it there.
    No Menu Bar? Press the alt key.
    If using the '''AppMenu button''', click that and select''' New Message-Existing Mail Account'''

  • I am having trouble getting mail from the server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system. Any ideas?

    I am having trouble getting mail from the shaw server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system and obtain new messages. Any ideas? Its at the point where I have started using the PC again as its less trouble.......

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

  • TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account.  I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work.  I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

    Not able to get mail from windows live account.

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
    There apparently are two ways to address this:
    (1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
    This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
    (2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
    Open a Windows Explorer window to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
    Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
    Right-click and paste
    Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
    After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
    ''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

  • I cannot get mail from my sister who was hacked

    I cannot get mail from my sister who was hacked

    If your sister's e-mail account was used to send large quantities of spam, and it has been blocked somewhere as a spammer - which may or may not be what happened - it may be difficult to tell where.  As I said, any e-mail server between you and your sister could be blocking her messages.  A reasonable place to start would be to check with your own e-mail provider and see if their servers are blocking her e-mail.  If that is not the problem, she will need to talk to her own e-mail provider about the problem, and they should be able to assist her.  Alternately, she could switch to a new e-mail address, which might not be a bad idea, since the after-effects of getting hacked and having her account sending out spam could linger for years.

  • Not downloading all mail from comcast server older than 5 months

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to download my mail from Comcast. Last time that i DL'ed mail to Thundermail was late March. For some reasons, it will only dl mail from 7/28/14 forward. I tried deleting my popstate.dat file, but all that did was DL the same stuff again, so now I have 4182 x 2 messages in my inbox.
    any ideas why it's not going all the way back to early march? Is there some setting in Thunderbird that is preventing it from going back?
    Back in January of this year, when I first installed thurndermail the program downloaded a full two years of e-mail.
    thx
    Mark

    Since you are in this "company" are you in a Domain and using a Exchange Server? If so, what version of Windows server and version of Exchange server are they running?
    Plus you could see if any problems are coming up by going to the Mail's menu item called 'Window' and select "Connection Doctor". This will pop-up and before you start make sure you look in the right hand corner to show Details and then do the check. This way you see where Mail is communication with the email server and then trace down what step it is failing.

  • How do I get Mail from my hotmail account?

    I was wondering if I could get my mail from my hotmail account right into my mail. Also if I could get mail from an address originally opened on Windows with Outlook Express. Thanks a lot.

    The short answer, for now, is you don't. It's increasingly clear that Microsoft does not want to extend this privilege to users of free HotMail accounts, not does it want to offer POP3 access to anyone other than paying HotMail Plus users at this point, and for the foreseeable future. And, IMAP: that's out of the question, apparently.
    While the plugin idea is a nice one, the referenced open-source HTTPMail plug in is broken by Mac OS X 10.5, and nothing has been heard to date from the developer about an update to support Mail in Leopard.

    My mail account is set up properly, I can connect to the Internet, but I cannot get mail from the Mail app on my iPad.

    Hello echo1946
    Start with the first article to troubleshoot the issue of not getting mail on your iPad. When you get online using safari, check to see if you can log into webmail. Also keep in mind, depending on the account that mail sometimes might not come in if it is a POP account as it may have already been download elsewhere.

  • I didn't get mail from DAC

    Hi,
    I didn't get mail from DAC after the end of running an execution plan,
    Although I get test mail form DAC.
    I've tried to define my self with each level, but it doesn't help.
    Does anyone know how the problem can be solved ?
    Thank you

    1. Verify the Email Configuration ( Tools--> ETL Management--> DAC Server Setup)
    Send a 'Test Email'
    I get a 'Test Email'
    2. Add Email Recipients with Notification Level 1 or 5 or 10 (Setup-->Email Recipients)
    Restart DAC Server after Email Configuration. Run a Test ETL and check the status.
    I've tested each of Levels and restarted DAC
    but it didn't help

  • Why some mail from Comcast mail server is not received?

    I am a new iMAC user (Mavericks 10.9.2). I just setup my Mail with 4 accounts using the guided setup on the MAC for the first account and then instructions from Comcast for the rest. All 4 accounts are setup for POP. All accounts are setup NOT to delete Email on the server for 1 month. Testing sending/receiving to/from the 4 accounts shows some very strange problems:
    - Emails sent to any of these MAC mail accounts from a PC with Eudora (as the client) consistently arrive without any problems
    - Emails sent from Comcast's webmail, from Outlook on an other PC and from the MAC itself via MAC mail end up on Comcast's server but never in the MAC's Inbox
    I can see the Emails arriving on Comcast's server via Webmail from a PC. I also cc-ed myself and received all test Emals without any problems on the PC.
    I called Comcast and their Email specialist said that they never heard of a problem like this one. They sent a test Email which was received on the PC but not on the MAC. They said that we should talk to Apple....
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hi Suzy2014,
    Here is a related - in a way - "weird one" for you: Ironically, I had Comcast Webmail and Macintosh Mail client problems of a weird nature, myself (on my new iMac 27": which is also running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2) - and: the issue(s) occurred THIS PAST EASTER 2014 weekend.
    I had no problems w/ Comcast email forwarding, initially, after having many months ago done the initial set-up /forwarding. But for some strange reason, last Friday all my new (and older), Comcast-forwarded email to the iMac in question suddenly just evaporated off of that iMac. Something like 17 emails of all sorts from them; most since early 2014. Some involving service & changed billing costs /issues that land squarely in the lap of Comcast management
    NOTE: I have lately begun having [unrelated to email] 'other problems' with Comcast - which came to light just late last week - I won't go into them here, for now, but: I wondered if Comcast could (somehow? I know it seems so unlikely; paranoid, even ... but stranger things have been proven after the fact in the computer business. Think about it...) Anyway ... could they have 'prevented' me from forwarding their emails to me; and /or screwed-up, or around, with my email - or other(?) settings, configs, etc. As an harassment tactic. Seriously - it's crossed my mind since last Thursday /Friday. Here is my email story, courtesy of Comcast /xFinity::
    - The mail was there for a long time on my Mac;
    - Then these other issues arose (not email related) with Comcast;
    - My mail (POP acct't with them) was gone within an hour of me challenging them over the other stuff;
    - I called their tech support first;
    - the guy that finally came one wanted me to give him verbal "permission" to allow him to move around my iMac after I agreed to download their screen sharing app;
    - I'm really fairly expert with Macs /OSX oddities, in particular; Apple refers to me as a 'sophisticated user.' Whatever. I don't want kudos, believe me: just the solutions - if they even exist.
    - Anyway, the Comcast tech could not figure out why the email from them disappeared, nor why it would not re-download. Of course - it should have, as I set up forwarding it a long time ago; I assumed it would just re-download to the iMac 27. It did not.
    - He eventually put me on hold - so I played devil's advocate, and quickly configured my OTHER new Mac: a  MacBook Air 13 /Apple Email client to have an identically config'd Comcast account in it. Before I even finished setting it up on the Air 13 - the Account Preferences on that laptop actually 'finished setting itself up' - and POOF - *all* of the missing mail that used to be on the iMac 27 immediately downloaded into the new mailbox I'd just set up on the MB Air 13;
    - Odd, I thought.
    - This guy came back online; he ended up resetting my Comcast login PWD; then he maneuvered my mouse all around the iMac 27 very quickly, changing settings (one of the things I noted to him was that the Comcast smtp server had gone 'offline' as of a few hours prior, and that I could not get it to come back online). Well that didn't work.
    - He was brusque; and he ended up deleting my Comcast account totally on the iMac, and I reconfig'd it (by then I took over all the tasks, as I didn't like the way he skipped around the computer like he owned it, when I was capable of doing anything necessary for him); That 'plan' did not work, either.
    - He never did explain possible reasons for any of these "phenomenon;" nor did he ever get the Comcast SMTP mail server to come online, either. He told me he had no idea what was going one, and told me to call Comcast's "for pay higher level of support service" - (I refused) - or to call AppleCare (which I 'd planned to do, anyway).
    - Before I ended the call I had him observe as I logged into Comcast's [horrid] Website(s) and email account pages/settings I have, like you must. Oddly - MAIL FORWARDING from my Comcast email account to my primary email acct. *had been DISABLED.* How could this have just "happened?" Well - he refused to explain anything more. In short - he was useless, as support techs go.
    - This phone call to Comcast tech support next came to an abrupt end; plus - he never disengaged the screen-sharing session he had me agree to engage; that made me a bit uncomfortable too, to say the least. I ended the still-on sharing session after he hung up - right away, myself - and deleted all instances of the Comcast sharing app.
    - I of course called AppleCare; ironically, while waiting for a Sr. Advisor form the CPU Division to come on - suddenly the Comcast smtp sever suddenly came online; and the mail that would not again download to my iMac 27 - suddenly did - just like it did on the first-ever /new account I set up as a test (for my own edification, and knowledge of troubleshooting such things, across "like" computers) e.g., what I set-up while on hold with Comcast, on my MacBook Air 13. Which worked perfectly. I note this too: I went into the Keychain on both of these Macs of mine: I was suddenly locked-out of viewing the Comcast entries for PWDS for [their] mail incoming /outgoiong Keychain login /PWD entries. Shocking, really, as I've done that a million times beofre; and never - as full admin of all of my computers and networks - have seen THAT. A coincidence. I dunno. I suspect  ... something, though. I just don't know what - yet.
    I bring this long story up (sorry for the length) - for one reason, actually. Comcast /xFinity does some spooky - even unsavory - things (not limited to email issues alone, trust me). That said : be careful with them; your networking; you Macs; your privacy, etc. I am rather suspicious of "them," now, and for several reasons, as noted.
    Hope you have no more problems with them! Be well!
