Before you can add your Comcast email to Outlook, you need to enable IMAP access in your Comcast account settings. This will allow Outlook to sync with your Comcast email. To do this, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Comcast email account.
- Go to “Settings” and click on “Email.”
- Under “Email Settings,” click on “Advanced Settings.”
- Scroll down to “Mail Server Settings” and toggle the “Enable IMAP” option.

Step 2: Open Outlook
Open Outlook on your computer. If you do not have Outlook installed, you can download it from the Microsoft website or use the web version.

In Outlook, go to “File” and click on “Add Account.” This will open a new window where you can enter your email address.
Step 4: Enter Your Comcast Email Address
Enter your Comcast email address in the provided field and click on “Connect.”
Step 5: Enter Your Password
Enter your Comcast email password and click on “Connect.” If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you will need to enter the code sent to your phone or email.
