| [E-mail] Comcast E mail acting up!
For the last week or so My comcast email has been acting up. Everytime I check for new e mail a window pops up asking me for the password.
Anyone else having issues?
My E mail program is Windows Live Mail.
I am in Philadelphia,PA

Webmail asks me to sign in... if I haven't been there for a while.
Normal as far as I see.

| He might be referring to just a client issue. I am seeing it now with Thunderbird. It's asking me for a password and then times out. Webmail is working fine for me though.

Are any of you guys running AVG antivirus? We've been seeing this a lot in the last couple of days, and it seems like disabling AVG has been at least temporarily resolving the issue. We're trying to figure out if this is just a symptom, or if there's something in an update they did recently that's affecting this. I've also had luck moving people over to incoming port 995 with SSL turned on, but we're looking for a more permanent solution. |

The network admins are probably having issues with the switchover...even though Zimbra is fully supported.
And comcast email imo is not work the headaches. I have gmail and my domain email hosted by them, let me tell you its been a smooth ride so far. And you can't beat their spam filters. |

Same for me here. About 5 days I get errors with my mail, Windows Live. I called Comcast but they had no clue what I was talking about so for now I am just dealing with it. Glad I am not alone though  |

Jacksonville, FL | Yes I've noticed that outlook keeps on asking me for the password even though it's stored already. Only happens periodically but it is happening to me here in Jax. |

I had the same issue, can you do this at the command prompt?
nslookup pop.comcast.net
and see if we got the same server? that way when I call them I can see if they are having issues with any particular server. |

Yep, same thing here. It has been going on for over a week but it is not consistent. At this time I am being asked for a password which it rejects. In a few minutes, or one time almost 30 minutes, I get my mail with no intervention.
It's useless to call Support.

It's not only Comcast. Yahoo Mail Plus is doing something similar using a client as well. I use MailWasher to poll my email throughout the day from several accounts. I get errors from Comcast and Yahoo all day long. I've been seeing these issues with Comcast for several months now off and on. |

If you go to comcast.net and then it remembers your password and you try to check mail, it asks you for your password again. Ridiculous. Gmail remembers you. |

I check my email at least twice a day using OE and haven't had any of the problems mentioned. It receives the mail every time and sent out the few messages I have sent. |

I haven't had this problem though my dad did. All I did was change his password and it fixed the problem.
Just go to comcast's website and change your password for your email address and that should fix your problem. |

Its a known issue and comcast is aware of it. Network engineers are looking into it now |
