[NickT916]

i tried adding my comcast email to the iphone but no success. im a bit confused with the host name for the incoming mail server and outgoing SMTP, can someone help out who has comcast already on iphone? thanks!

incoming, mail.comcast.net
outgoing, smtp.comcast.net:username

Comcast also has a mobile application you can use, but I don't find it to be good.

I use my comcast email on my iPhone everyday. I think comcast has a page for iPhone help actually....

So this may be an elementary question but once my phone's wifi and internet are working properly, how do I set up msn mail on phone?

Sorry to ask repetitive or novice like questions but all of this is very new to me.

Thanks!

incoming, mail.comcast.net
outgoing, smtp.comcast.net:username

i put that in and it says cannot connect using SSL "do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?" i tried yes but i got: IMAP account verification failed "IMAP server mail.comcast.net is not responding blah blah..."

why do simple things have to be so hard sometimes :frown:

When adding a new account make sure you hit the "pop" button, Imap is the default. Comcast does not support Imap.
Incoming: pop.comcast.net
outgoing: smtp.comcast.net

For whatever it's worth, I just set up a Gmail account and have my comcast mail bounced to the gmail. It was really easy do do it that way.

Thats a cool idea Keeper. I have all my junk mail going to comcast and all my personal email going to gmail. How do you do that?

it is a (POP) account:

incoming: mail.comcast.net
outgoing: smtp.comcast.net

Under the advance settings make sure you have (Use SSL) turned ON for both incoming and outgoing.
Server Port incoming: 995
Server Port outgoing: 587

This should make it work for you.
