Hey @user_kq412j,

 

Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We would be more than happy to provide assistance. Could you please provide us more information pertaining to your concern? Doesn't sound like an error from our Xfinity Email portal. Could you provide as much detail and third-party email client information so we can best assist? We hope to hear from you soon.

This is an error message from Xfinity email. I have the same problem. I checked my email this morning and got the message "The entered credential or authentication information does not work or are no longer accepted by provider. Please change them." This is on a secondary account, but has been working fine for years. I since have changed the password and checked the server settings, still the same message. 

Help!

Until today, I was able to access my primary and multiple secondary Comcast emails all at the same time (I had added the accounts to the connect.xfinity page).  Now, as I'm setting up my new laptop, it seems to treat any secondary Comcast email accounts I try to add to connect.xfinity as third-party emails  (doesn't recognize them as comcast, and sends error that authentication failed using comcast imap / smtp settings).  My problem seems similar to those in this thread.

I am able to access the emails by logging in / out of each individual account, so passwords etc aren't an issue.

Any solution on "add email account" would be appreciated!

user_goi3ig thank you for taking the time to reach out today via the Community Forums page. I know how important access to email accounts is as a consumer myself who prefers email as a primary method of communication. Which third party email application are you attempting to use on your laptop?
