A couple or three days ago Thunderbird stopped receiving messages from my primary email account.
Turns out I can now only access Comcast email through the Xfinity webpage and through the mail app on my old Apple iPod 3. Have yet to try my old Android tablet apps.
Incoming mail server, imap.comcast.net, fails to connect with up-to-date Thunderbird on three different laptop computers: My newish HP-Notebook running Kubuntu 18.04, my wife's newish HP-Pavilion running Ubuntu MATE 18.04, and my older Acer A0722 Netbook running Lubuntu 18.04.
The netbook case is particularly interesting in that the Xfinity email webpage completely crashes Falkon browser and loads exceedingly slowly with Firefox. Moreover, just as with Thunderbird, Comcast server will not connect with Sylpheed mail client. Netbook has only 2MB RAM so lightweight, speedy, and stable Falkon is usually my go-to browser thereupon.
Have tried alternative second-choice ports as suggested in Comcast support pages, but these don't work either.
I have two other mail accounts, Google Gmail and Microsoft Hotmail/Outlook, both of which continue to work on all machines with Thunderbird and Sylpheed just fine.
Anyone else out there having similar Comcast/Xfinity trouble? Thoughts, suggestions?
I am not having any trouble with comcast aka. xfinity with claws-mail client and imap. It works as intended here. I would recheck all your settings to make sure everything looks right. I do believe there was a certificate change with claws that I had to except recently for comcast so that may be the problem. Peter
