Every time I attempt to download my messages in my Firefox Account, I receive the following message:

The IMAP server imap comcast.net does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the "Authentication Method" in the "Account Settings Server settings"

I do not know how to repair this problem. Can you repair it for me? Thank you.

Please share the settings you have for the account, the incoming server and the outgoing server. Thank you. That will help in giving feedback.
