Windows 10 TB 38 suddenly stopped receiving emails from comcast.net

My wife and I share the computer. Don't know if there was a TB update 12-3. But starting sometime 12-3 aAfter 10 pm, TB fails to retrieve any emails from the comcast server. Initially TB was using PORT 110, I believe. [So-called] Comcast customer support suggested 495 or 995 -- or maybe both, sorry. None of those worked. I have installed Windows Live Mail and that works but on a different port.

I have no problems sending using TB at all, so it's the inbound port and the server is still mail.comcast.net.

Using Windows 10 - there was an article about Win 7. Moved to 10 about 2 months ago, so it's not Win 10. I bet it's Comcast closing a port. They claim they do not support TB. Swell.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you very much; that fixed my TB problem.

The (notice in my original I said) "so-called" comcast customer care folks (3 different ones) with whom I spoke could not or did not point me to the link you provided.

I don't see where TB lets me use the imap access -- only pop3.

Indeed, I was using 110 and that has apparently been disabled. 995 works.

I have tried other ports. It was originally 110 and that did not work.

It's possible Comcast only support SSL/TLS access now, which is a good thing.

Comcast support should be able to tell you the correct server settings. And you should be able to look up the correct settings on their support site.

There is no point trying different combinations of settings, simply use what Comcast require. And this isn't a secret. http://customer.xfinity.com/help-and-support/internet/email-client-programs-with-xfinity-email/

You need to turn on SSL/TLS for both, incoming and outgoing, and correct the port for incoming.
