Still having issues with Email in UK

I'm having intermittent email account errors when accessing my Xfinity account from my second home in the UK.  I'm using Apple Mail on a Macbook using wifi connected to the Internet.  I have full access to the internet, but when my Mail app attempts to connect to my Comcast mail server, I get the message: Online Status - Temporarily blacklisted IP address - try again later.  Some emails will come through periodically, but in general there is no email access through the wifi router. Sometime I receive email but cannot send.  I have the same issue on my mobile phone when I use a cellular connection.  

I have tried to resolve for 2 years now. Any ideas how to keep my wifi IP address from being blacklisted by Comcast?

Yes I can get it on the website. I have issues with my Apple devices in Apple Mail.

Thank you for that clarification. Have you reached out to the Apple team to see if there was an issue with that service?
