SMTP suddenly stopped working (outgoing email)
All of a sudden, my OUTLOOK on both Android & PC wouldn't CONNECT. So it prompted me to Reset my Password. So I did that, successfully. I updated both Phone & PC clients. However, I can ONLY receive email (IMAP) - not SEND (SMTP) .. every time I try to send, I get a pop-up to "enter your user name & password" for SMTP.COMCAST.NET .. I did that - countless times. It refuses to accept my new password. I verified this my logging into the XFINITY Web Client and can see my mail and send just fine. I can't get this darn SMTP thing to work on either my PC or Phone. this is driving me nuts. Why so difficult? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing that's a typo, but just case, note that the outbound server is "smtp.comcast.net".
That's "smtp" ("Simple Mail Transfer Protocol"), not "smpt".

Same problem, but with only one of my email addresses.
