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
Password is universal for your email. If it is not being accepted, most likely you need to reset your password from Comcast’s portal.
