Configure Outlook Settings for Comcast Email

If you use Outlook to access your Xfinity Connect email account, you’ll want to make sure your settings are configured correctly. We’ll show you how.

Using third-party email clients (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc.) to access your Comcast.net email address can potentially expose your Xfinity ID and password to fraud and other risks. We recommend you access your Comcast email by going to Xfinity Connect and clicking Email, or by using the Xfinity Connect app on your mobile device.
