This tutorial will take you each step of the way through configuring your iPhone or iPad to receive your Comcast.net emails.
- Start out by tapping the Settings button.
- Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars from the Settings menu, and then Add Account from the ACCOUNTS section.
- Now select Other.
- Tap the Add Mail Account option.
- Now enter the appropriate information into each of the fields. Make sure to include the @comcast.net part of your address in the Email field – not just the ‘user name’. Tap the Next button when you’re done.
- Your iPhone/iPad will now verify the information you provided.
- Make sure that the Mail ‘toggle’ is set to ON and the Notes toggle is OFF. Then tap the Save button.
- Your device will now confirm the account was added.
- Make sure there’s a ‘Comcast’ entry in the ACCOUNTS list, and now you can exit out of the Settings.
- Tap the Mail icon.
- In the list of your Mailboxes – ta-da! – there’s the newly created Comcast account.
- Now you can send and receive your Comcast email from your iPhone/iPad. Done!
what if my password is not accepted?
Sherry –
Are you able to use that same password to sign into comcast.net? If not, you probably need to reset it, which will unfortunately mean contacting Comcast…
I do not want IMAP. (Bewildered why so many people recommend this but that’s besides the point)
When adding account to i-phone, IMAP is automatically selected. There is no opportunity to set up my account as POP3 because setting are automatically detected. Ugh, how do I set up my Comcast email as POP3?
Thanks
