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 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.

IPAD3 sending Comcast mail.

iPAD3, iOS 8.1.3. Using iPAD mail with 2 Comcast accounts. I can receive, but not send mail. The configured gmail accounts send and receive fine.
Tried power off/on. Tried delete account and add account. Tried backup, then reset to fresh install. None of these worked.
I have the exact same settings on an iPad 2, and the iPAD2 sends mail for Comcast just fine..

All the settings on my ipad 3 and ipad 2 are identical for both email accounts. The ipad 2 sends mail, the ipd3 doesn't send mail.
Both accounts are IMAP, and they use outgoing port 465 and incoming port 993.
smtp.Comcast.net
No additional smtp servers
SSL on
Are there other SMTP server settings?
Thanks for the replies.

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.

Comcast mail issues

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/

Hello:
You need to contact "epost." The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

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.

I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but im getting this message "iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. then try again." How?

I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but i am getting this error message " iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. Then try agian." How do I do that?

It sounds like the iPad wasn't erased to me. If the iPad is totally cleared of content, there should be nothing on it and no backup to create.
Without connecting the iPad to your computer - Launch iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Prefences>Devices. Do you see an iPad backup in there? If you do see it, delete it.

I just bought RAR Extractor, but it doesn't work in my ipad. E-mail attached photographs can not be opened in "open-in"

I just bought RAR Extractor, but it doesn't work in my ipad. E-mail attached photographs came in .rar format. I checked Apples Store and found RAR Extractor. I bought, installed, erased, reinstalled again but I still can not see the photos. They seem to be existing in "open-in" folder. When I tap, it goes back to "Home" screen.

Have you contacted the developer? They would be the best people to help with their product.

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)

Cannot get Comcast mail

After years of using Mail to download my Comcast mail, I am no longer able to get my mail. I get the spinning beach ball and my hard drive makes noise and gets very warm. I created a local account and moved all of the messages there. Then I deleted the account in mail and from the mail folder. This solved the problem for one week. It is back now. I travel a lot so I use the SSL authentication. It is troubling to have to keep deleting the account.
All software updates are current. I have repaired permissions and rebooted. I can send e-mail with no problem. Is it possible that one e-mail could be causing all this? Once it is downloaded to mail it will not allow any more messages to come through? As I was moving the messages to a local folder the first time, I noticed one e-mail would not move. Once I deleted it and emptied the trash everything worked fine. I am currently keeping the messages on the server with all these problems. Should that be an issue?
Is it possible that I need to run Disk Utility? Maybe the file structure has been corrupted.
Why would a mail message cause the hard drive to spin?
Rambling I am.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Debbie

What great suggestions. I happen to only have Airport and Ethernet checked. But on the bright side, as I was cleaning out my online Comcast mail I found an e-mail I could not delete. I logged off and back on, the e-mail mysteriously deleted itself and now my mail is coming through.
I wrote down the offending e-mailer and will look further into where it is coming from. I assume for now it had a corrupted attachment. My friends with their ridiculous jokes they insist on forwarding
At least now a red flag will go up when I stop getting mail.
I still wonder if this is specific to Mail?
I am thankful for all of your suggestions and quick responses.
I keep a notebook next to the computer with all of these ideas to pass on and try again if need be.
I am going to close out the post.
Keep your fingers crossed.
