It is fine. Remnants from an old email account might share the same outgoing server settings. Thunderbird automatically detects and attempts to use these files.

If these files malfunction, it can trigger an error indicating that the configuration is blocked or failing.

Open the SMTP settings:Click the Gear icon (Settings) in the bottom-left corner of Thunderbird.Click on Account Settings.

In the left panel, scroll down and select Outgoing Server (SMTP).Manually add a unique SMTP server:Manually enter the Comcast server details:

Server Name: smtp.Comcast.net Port: 587 connection Security: Start TLS Authentication Method: Normal password user Name: Your full Comcast email address

Link the SMTP server to your mail account:In the left panel, scroll back up and click on your main Comcast account name.

At the bottom of the right pane, locate the Outgoing Server (SMTP) section.Click the dropdown menu and select the newly created SMTP server, which you can identify by your username.
