Can't get comcast.net emails in Thunderbird
Have tried using the suggested settings: imap.comcast.net using 993 SSL/TLS and smtp.comcast.net using 465 SSL/TLS (both using "Normal Password") but only get "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." I also tried the alternate port 587 for smtp. My username and password are correct as I can still get into the web-based email function at xfinity, but i would like to get all my emails in one place.

If you have just downloaded Thunderbird...... Exit Thunderbird. Access Firewall. Please make sure your 'Firewall' (which may be part of your Anti-Virus program) is set to allow 'Mozilla Thunderbird'. It it is not allowed then the Firewall could be blocking access.
Start Thunderbird and retry creating mail account.
- 'Menu icon' > 'New Message' > 'Existing Mail Account'
- Enter name
- Enter full email address
- Enter password - same one you use to acces webmail
- select checkbox to remember password
- click on 'Continue'
Thunderbird will attempt to locate settings. Make sure the correct type of account is selected eg: Pop or Imap. You can click on 'Manual Config' button to check and adjust settings.
In Thunderbird the 'User Name' will be your full email address.
