On the other hand, as for more information, third-party email clients are usually configured to delete messages from the server. As a result, it will prevent your additional device to receive your Comcast email. You must make sure that the messages are not deleted from the server if you wish to access your Comcast account on multiple devices.
Follow the steps below.
- Click on “Tools” then choose “Account”
- Choose your account from the menu on the left then click Properties.
