Problems with comcast email on iphone

Had problems sending emails from my iphone and ipad through Comcast. Apple could not solve the problem, contacted Comcast and they stated that they had issues with the Apple iphone and ipad and told me to download the "Xfinity connect ap" did so and everything works better than before.  When I used the Apple email had to trash what I did not want on Apple and then when I went to Comcast the email were still there.  Using the xfinity ap, when I delete on the iphone or the ipad the emails are deleted at all places.  Before I had to delete on my iphone and then my ipad and then when i went to my computer they were still there and I had to delete there also, which was a real pain. Still can send and rec email from my icloud account, but comcast email are handled through xfinity connect

my point is what i stated. maybe i posted in the wrong forum. SORRY.  I was only trying to help. No it is probably not Apples problem but the Apple people did not know what to do or did not have a solution to the problem.  I spent hours trying to straighten it out on line and with apple personel with no results, Apple employees did not have a solution to the problem.  Like I said Sorry, but it cost me hours trying to straighten it out.  I had used it for 2 yrs and then it stopped working, I figured Apple had a solution but they did not, and wasted a lot of my time.

  • A problem with Yahoo Email (not iPhones fault)?

    Will Yahoo fix their email problem soon? I like having the "push" feature (when it works!)
    I have 3 email accounts set up on my iPhone. Yahoo, Gmail, and my Road Runner. I sent all 3 an email from my work computer (via my work email). In a matter of 2 minutes the Gmail & Road Runner email showed up on my iPhone (must have been close to the 15 minute check for email time). The Yahoo is still missing in action.
    As I'm typing this email... a test email I sent 1 hour 5 minutes ago finally showed up in my Yahoo account.
    Also, I signed onto hotmail, gmail, and yahoo all on my computer. I sent an email to my work email... the Gmail and Hotmail arrived at my work inbox in less than 2 minutes. Still waiting (been 45 minutes) for the Yahoo email to show up. Again, these emails originated via my computer (not iPhone), and there is still a problem with my Yahoo. My computer is a PC running win XP PRO (if that matters)

    I am having the same problem. You have to log into your Yahoo.com webmail everyday and send an email to anyone. You will be asked to enter some anti-spam security letters and numbers. Do this only once each day before you use your iPhone mail.app and it should work. I am angry at both Apple and Yahoo for letting this happen. Apple has an obligation to make the mail.app work (push mail) with any IMAP account, not just Yahoo's. Hpoefully in the next software update. For now, I have to check my IMAP and POP mail either manually or at a set interval.

  • Problems with Comcast Email

    I've had my Droid X for several years, and received Comcast email in "Messaging" box after setting up the Comcast account.  A few days ago, I started getting error notices that the phone was unable to connect to comcast because of an expired certificate from "bouncycastle.jce."  Unable to figure that out, I thought I'd try to reset it by deleting my comcast email account and then setting it back up.  Which I did, but now it says "unable to connect to comcast.net."  BTW, I have a gmail account and a business email account that are working fine through all of this, and my comcast email works fine on my desktop computer and when accessed on-line.  I spent time with a Comcast help person on chat, who could not make comcast email work in my "Messaging," but eventually had me download Xfinity Mobile.  I can get my Comcast email in Xfinity Mobile, but I don't like some of the permissions required for Xfinity Mobile, not the application bloat on my device.  I'd like to go back to just having the Droid pickup my comcast email through "Messaging."  Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?  Thanks.  

    Thanks RickR1958 & curtterp for sharing your solution!
    For MichGeo & psw456, please make sure you have the same settings curtterp posted above for your email account. These are the correct settings for Comcast email & should allow you to send and receive email. Also, here is a link to Motorola's website which further details the security settings you should have checked/not checked for your email account. 

  • Occasional problem receiving Comcast email on iPhone and MacBook.

    I have iCloud.  Occasionally I will recieve an email on my iPhone but will not receive the same email on my MacBook.  This does not happen all of the time but it does happen periodically.  Any ideas?

    Yes some ideas. Comcast is using pop mail accounts. you need to do some changes to your phone and computer settings in order to accommodate that. (those accounts a bit outdated and need to be managed in order to use with multiple devices)

    Or you want to move on to gmail or hotmail.

  • Problem with icloud emails on iphone 4...HELP!!

    My iphone 4 is, for some reason, no longer letting me view my icloud emails. It is receiving new mail as normal and i can see the sender and the title/first line of text but the email itself will not load. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. I've tried removing my icloud account from the phone and puuting it back on but to no avail! Any ideas?

    My bookmarks also have vanished.

  • I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900  mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

    I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
    Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

    Howdy there COUGAR444,
    It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Why does apple ipad and iphone have problems with comcast?

    We attempt to send pictures through our comcast wifi account and gets to about 90%and freezes. Have reset modem, and router, have turned off phone and reset it. Have switched to 4G then pictures will send. Only has problem when connected to wifi. As my ipad is wifi, I cannot send pictures at all with it.
    Did not have this problem until iOS 6 update.
    Any suggestions?

    My iPad and other devices have no problems with Comcast, but I didn't get my WiFi router from them. If you did, your router may need a firmware update, or you may need to get a different model of router.
    Regards.

  • Problem with IMAP email in E52

    Hello,
    I have that problem with the email on my E52 v034.001:
    I am using my personal email (Gmail via IMAP) and it is working fine, on this one I am receiving few emails a day.
    When I am trying to set up my company's email, all the settings are ok, receives emails and then just hangs up, frozes. Sometimes even for like 10 miutes! I can always click on "hang up" button, and it goes back to home screen, but then again it ignores me when i want to go to menu or email for at least 10-15minutes. Then I'm going back to email when it's fine, opening it, it connects and then after few seconds crashes again. Every time I go near email it crashes. I went to settings, i wanted to get my companys email preview on  to my homescreen, i just higlighted "email" field and it crashed.
    Tested couple of different emails (POP3, IMAP, Exchange) and all of them are working fine. It's this particular one which i am having problems with, and i have no idea why is it happening. My workmates are using blackberries and iphones and it's working fine for them.
    Did any of you hear about something like that?

    I can confirm that this bug was fixed with version 054.003 (15-Jan-2011).

    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.

  • Problems with Charter Email Servers Made Me Think iOS5 Was Faulty

    Just a little heads up here for someone who has been having problems with their Charter email accounts not pulling email to their iphones.
    I decided to install iOS5 last weekend and my phone was being very irratic in pulling email from my Charter account starting a few days ago. Before calling Charter this morning I decided to delete the Charter account from my iphone and re-add it. I kept running into problems when trying to put in the exact same information that was there for the servers. I called Charter Tech Support and they kept blaming Apple.
    So after some Googling I came with this posted yesterday.................
    I have just spent a couple of hours with Charter Tech Support tracing a problem with their email POP settings. Many people had been using mail.charterinternet.com and smtp.charterinternet.com as a POP account in their settings. This server was decommissioned on Wednesday, 10/26/2011. These settings no longer work.
    Charter advises on their website that you set the email up as an IMAP account and use mobile.charter.net. These settings work for me EXCEPT there is no option to leave the email on the server. If you check your email on your phone with these settings, the email will be deleted from the server.
    Charter is aware of this issue, and are planning to make changes to allow people to connect via POP to Charter to get their email. I will post a response here as soon as they call me back with the settings.

    I'm confused, how can it be a violation of Terms of Service to state problems I'm having with an App and concerns that it could be a scam?  Surely it should be the other way round - that they have some kind of TOS to follow that stops them doing this!?
    Like I said, I've tried contacting the developer and they aren't interested...I've also left negative feedback, but that achieves nothing.  I've complained direct to Apple/iTunes, but they just refer me back to the developer.
    I'll delete the contents of my original post as I don't want to get my account shut down if it is a breach of TOS, but that seems crazy and just gagging people who are trying to raise concerns   I wasn't just ranting though, I was trying to find out how many other people are in the same boat as me - in the hope that if everyone gets together and complains then maybe something will be done!
    Seems mad that developers can get away with doing whatever they like and I'm not allowed to even talk about it.
    Edit: I can't see how to edit my original post?

  • TS3899 cannot access comcast email on iphone 4s

    I cannot access my comcast email on iphone 4s

    Were the email account settings you manually entered when creating the account with the iPhone's Mail app confirmed when doing so?
    If so, any error message provided when the iPhone's Mail app checks the account for new email?

  • Downloaded latest update ios 5.1.1.last night - now have problem with my email some being sent others not - any ideas?

    Downloaded latest update for iphone 4 ios 5.1.1. last night - now having problems with my emails - all show being sent - but not being received also no b.c.c. to myself coming up on iphone.  Any ideas?? 

    The passcode settings simply give you the option of having the passcode lock immediately you lock the screen, or after a delay period.  If you set a delay the passcode lock will not activate for the period of the delay.  I have mine set to one minute.  It is a "convenience" measure to save me having to re-enter the passcode if I lock the screen then immediately remember that there was something else I wanted to do.  Obviously this entails a small compromise on security and if you are at all concerned then you should set the passcode to "Immediately".  It really has nothing to do with the camera short-cut (though loads of users seem to have run away with this notion).  It would be the same if you just did "slide to unlock" during the delay period.
