This problem just started in the last month. All settings in "Tools, Account Settings" are identical. Current Error message reads: Login to server imap.comcast.net failed. Three radio buttons on error message. Retry Enter New Password Cancel

The Enter New Password button does not make sense, Why would it ask for a new password?
