Apple email app stopped fetching Comcast email

My Comcast email stopped working with the Apple app on my iPad (would not fetch new emails). I have updated it OS 17.0.3.  I cleared the cache.  I’ve turned it off and back on again and then I deleted the account and tried to set it up again but get message that Comcast is not available.  Email still loads fine on iPhone with same OS

Thank you for your response.  I tried reinstalling my Comcast account on the Apple email app several times after this post and it finally started working.  I didn’t do anything different other than letting time pass so I don’t know what changed, but at least the issue has resolved.  Maybe it had something to do with the recent OS updates.

Hi, my Comcast email no longer syncs changes between Xfinity and my Apple email.  I get the emails but when I delete or read an email that change isn’t synced.  This is true whether I do this on the Apple or when I log into my Comcast mail through the Xfinity app. 

This syncing started  happening some time back but the issues I’m having are getting worse.  I have reinstalled mail on the Apple device several times after being on a call with support but no improvement.

Oh no, @user_g3f2j1. I've located this detailed article which goes over how you're able to Turn your access to third-party email programs on or off in Xfinity Email, that I am hoping might help.
