I have a comcast email account that I want to start accessing through Thunderbird but the installation fails due to a conflict of the password. I use the same address and password on comcast and it opens my existing email. It will not accept the password on Thunderbird. error message shows a code (AUTH 1014)

I can only guess that the 'advanced settings' in the first screenshot may be of interest. Good luck. I'm not and cannot ever become a Comcast customer. I feel grateful for that.

Comcast requires a unique password when using any email client. It is separate from a website password. A web search for comcast app password may give you the steps, or check directly with comcast.

Kudos to you! I had to hunt the security settings since the url was updated but after making the suggested changes in settings, it worked fine...Thanks so much!
