The email has come a long way from its beginnings in the 1960s. Email clients these days have many more features and are a lot easier to get up and running. However, just like everything tech, they also face issues from time to time.

In this article, we’re looking at why your Comcast email isn’t working and the solutions you can take to solve the problem. 


Why your Comcast email isn’t working?

There are several reasons why this might happen. Some of the most popular ones are as follows.

How to fix this?

Here are a few solutions you can try out to fix these issues.

Check your network connection

The first thing you should do is to check your internet connection. If you’re using WiFi, check to ensure that you have an active internet connection; otherwise, try restarting the router. If you’re on mobile data, check to see if it’s enabled and whether you have good network coverage. 


Check Comcast servers

If your internet connection is fine, check if Comcast is facing any outages or not. You can refer to the Comcast website, their Twitter or use a third-party site like Downdetector to see if there’s a problem at Comcast’s end. If there is, there’s not much you can do other than sit back and let Comcast handle the situation. 


Check your email client

The next thing you should do is check if your email client is configured correctly and using the correct servers to send and receive emails. Checking your login credentials is also a good idea.


Delete browser data

If you’re using Comcast email in your browser, try deleting the browser data to see if that helps resolve the error.

Step 1: Type in chrome://settings/clearBrowserData in your browser’s address bar and hit Enter.

Check for updates

If the issue is in Chrome itself, chances are developers might release an update to fix the problem. Regardless, you should always ensure you’ve got the latest version of the browser installed to avoid running into problems that could otherwise be avoided. 

Head over to chrome://settings/help and make sure you’re on the latest update. If you’re not, update immediately and try again.
