Outgoing comcast SMTP SERVER NOT WORKING For Apple devices

All devices stopped working one day with same outgoing smtp error. Then I Worked for hours with level 1, support and got my PC working with Outlook 2019. Level 1 tech handed it to level 2 trying to get all apple devices working on the outgoing smtp problem. They (level 2) called and left an almost silent message …whisper….to call the main number at comcast. I have a ticket number but no way to get to level 2 support.  Has anyone solved this issue? Looking at Metronet if all fails.🥲

Hello, Catdog999 thank you for taking the time to post over Xfinity Forums. I completely understand needing access to your email communications on the preferred device, and I do want to ensure this is able to get resolved. 

- Did you receive any further follow-up communication in regard to the Tier 2 ticket? 

 

I do like to ensure I'm not overlooking anything in regard to the email: 

 

- Is it only issues on the Apple devices, have you checked the email is still accessible logging into the website?

I received no communication on the Tier 2 ticket. Only the whisper response mentioned before (i.e., to call the main support phone number). To clarify the situation 3 devices stopped sending but could receive comcast email. The devices were a PC with windows 10, iPad Pro current gen, ios 17.5.1, an iPhone 12 ios 17.4.1. No changes to any setting configurations had been made, they all just stopped sending (but could receive email) at the same time. The error received said the password or user name [Edited: "Personal Information"] was incorrect).  Note, this seems incorrect as there was no problem logging in to xfinity or comcast web mail with the same password used in settings. For the last three months I received messages about twice a week that I had to reset my xfinity password. I complied and email worked fine.  Then the current situation occurred.  Email send and receive was reestablished only on the PC. This was achieve by rebooting the PC several times and reentering the settings. Note, the password never changed but was just reentered multiple times.

I did as you requested. I sat in direct message limbo with no answer. Seems like a really bad joke!
Also, it seems that the discussion should be public (not DM) as to assist other customers?
