My comcast.net email is no longer accessible through Thunderbird
All of a sudden my comcast.net email is no longer accessible through Thunderbird,it claims I'm not using the correct password, even though none of the settings have changed. I can still access my email through webmail, using the same password. What's happened? and how can it be corrected thank you

Please quote the exact error message you see, in full. When did this start? Have you received the "invitation" from Comcast to migrate your email to Yahoo?
Your account settings should not change without your intervention, but it's good to confirm them anyway. Here are my working Comcast IMAP and SMTP settings. How do they compare with yours? Pay particular attention to the Authentication Method which should NOT be OAUTH2:
Incoming Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Incoming Server Name: imap.comcast.net Port: 993 User Name: <my email address> Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal Password
SMTP Server Name: smtp.comcast.net Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password User Name: <my email address>
Here are the POP3 server settings, in the rare case you use POP3 rather than IMAP: POP3 (Incoming): Incoming Server Type: POP Mail Server Incoming Server Name: pop3.comcast.net Port: 995 User Name: <my email address> Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal Password
Depending on what you find we can take additional steps.
