This is not uncommon when there are network issues beyond your control. Your IMAP application sends the outgoing message and then must send the same message to your email host server.

Hello Mary

993 is the correct port for Imap (where you are GETTING mail) with normal TLS. As far as I can tell, your Imap server should be imap.comcast.net

for sending, Smtp is used and you should set

  port 465 (NOT 365) with normal TLS
   OR 
  port 587 with STARTTLS

Either of these 2 combinations should work. As far as I can tell, your Smtp server should be smtp.comcast.net
