re :Comcast added email settings security with a box to check to allow third party to access.
Have you selected that checkbox to allow third party access ? If no, then select it - at least logon to the webmail account via a browser and check it is selected otherwise Xfinity will block you.
Have you reset a new password in comcast/Xfinity webmail account ? If yes, have you accessed the stored password in Thunderbird and updated it for both the imap and the smtp ? If no, then get new password saved:
- Settings > Privacy & Security
- Password section
- click on 'Saved Passwords'
- Click on 'Show Passwords'
- For both incoming imap line and outgoing smtp line -
- right clickon line and select 'Edit Password'
When completed - restart Thunderbird.
If still a problem then post an image of the error message.
