There are two ways to configure Outlook for different email service providers. But both may not be available for Comcast as it is not the top email service provider globally.
You can either use the automatic setting option or manual settings option. And Automatic option may not work for Comcast as Outlook may not recognize it.
So, you would have to use the manual method to set up the Comcast email in Outlook.
Here are the steps to set up the Comcast email in Outlook.
· Open the Outlook on your computer and then click on the File menu option and then click on the Account Settings button.
· Then, click on the Add Account button located on the right side of the page.
· Now, you will find the option to select the email account and then click on the Next button.
· Select Manual Setup or Additional server type option and click on the Next button.
· Now, choose POP or IMAP and click Next.
· Enter your username and email address in the first two fields.
· Then, you have to enter the Comcast email settings for Outlook in the next two fields.
o Incoming Mail Server – imap.comcast.net
o Outgoing Mail Server – smtp.comcast.net
· After that, you will need to enter the username and password for the account in the next field.
· Click on the More Settings button to change a few things.
· Go to the Outgoing Server Tab and check the ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication’ checkbox.
· And also, select the radio button to ‘Use same settings as my incoming mail server’ option.
· Then, go to the advanced tab and enter the port settings as well.
o Incoming port – 993 – SSL
o Outgoing port – 587 – TLS
· Click on the Next button to finish the process and then click on the Close button to add the account.
So, this way, you can setup Comcast email in Outlook, and you can use the same Comcast email settings for android.
