[SOLVED] Accessing Comcast.net email (via POP) from Zimbra Desktop

[sposetti]

We have seen a few questions about connecting to Comcast.net email from Zimbra Desktop. So I thought I'd post settings I found that worked. I tested these with Zimbra Desktop 2.0 Beta 3.


Account Type: POP

Receiving Mail Settings
=======================
User Name: yourname@comcast.net
Password: ------
Incoming Server: mail.comcast.net

Sending Mail Settings
==============
SMTP Server: smtp.comcast.net
Edit the Port to "465"
Check the "Use SSL encryption when sending mail"
Check the "Username and password required to send mail"
User Name: yourname
Password: -----

Check the "New messages" box to "Leave on Server"

"Cannot connect to "SMTP server". Please check host/port and network connectivity."

The comcast tech said to use 587 w/o SSL for sending but that didn't work either. I tried user name including "comcast.net" and without, etc etc.

I have no problem connecting to Comcast with TBird or Outlook but really wanted a client that have MAPI capability and Caldav....like Zimbra!

I found these settings work as well (don't need to check SSL for sending):

Account Type: POP

Receiving Mail Settings
=======================
User Name: yourname@comcast.net
Password: ------
Incoming Server: mail.comcast.net

Sending Mail Settings
==============
SMTP Server: smtp.comcast.net
Edit the Port to "587"
Check the "Username and password required to send mail"
User Name: yourname (note: do not include @comcast.net)
Password: -----
