trouble adding comcast email to thunderbird

  • பதில்கள் இல்லை
  • 0 இந்த பிரச்னைகள் உள்ளது

just installed thunderbird on my new windows 11 laptop (samsung galaxy book 5) and tried to add my comcast email account. i entered the address and password and it took me to an xfinity web page to validate my password for imap.comcast.net. since i'm not on my home network it send a code to my mobile phone which i entered successfully. it then asked my for the address on my account. i entered it and it told me it didn't recognize the address! I called comcast and finally got to speak with a human (no mI'veean feat). We verified that my xfinity account allows third party applications to access my email. That's pretty much all the help she could give me. i've run thunderbird on my home windows 10 desktop with no issues accessing my comcast email. Has anyone encountered this problem? does it have to do with windows 11 settings? any help would be appreciated.
