Email client settings

The IT manager created a Comcast Business account login for me with my email address.

I'm trying to use this login/password to send mail via smtp.comcast.net but it doesn't like the password.

Is this account login only good to log into the Comcast Business web site, or can I also use it to send email?

The email is being sent from a scanner device that receives FAXes and sends them via email. Its configuration requires an SMTP host (smtp.comcast.net) a user (my email address that I use to log into business.comcast.com), and a password (the password from that account).

Hi there, @dwr130! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to our experts here in the Comcast Business Support Community! I definitely want to take a closer look at your email to see what's going on.

I can't figure out how to message you directly. There is no "Xfinity Support" available, but there is a "Support". Should I use that?

I apologize for the trouble. Give that a try if you don't mind and we will see if that works out!

Peer to Peer message sent to "support":

I'm trying to use a third party email application to send mail using a Comcast Business login. I have configured the email application to connect to smtp.comcast.net on port 587 using TLS, authenticating using SASL . I'm testing this at my home, using an Xfinity account I created. This works. However, when I try to use it with my Comcast Business ID and password, it fails to authenticate. When I deliver this application to the business, I don't really want to leave my home Xfinity login and password in the configuration. How do I get this to work with the business user?

Thank you for giving that a try, but I don't see it came in yet. I ask that you please try again but now search for "Comcast Business" handle instead of support. This should direct you over as expected. I apologize for the trouble, but we are here for you. Let me know how this works.
