When I try to get my email I get an Alert Box that says, Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded LOGIN failed. When I close that box, I get another box Login failed. It says Login to server Comcast.net failed. It has three choices, Retry, Enter new password, Cancel. Neither retry nor entering a new password works. Shutting off the computer and restarting does not work either.
