Windows 10: Trying new email client Comcast Server

I currently have Thunderbird email ( POP3) installed in my wife's desktop. Server is Comcast. She does not like it. I would like her to try another email client . Do I have to disable Thunderbird email before I install and setup another new email client ? I suppose I have to setup new email client as POP3 account and not IMAP to avoid conflict? I am wondering whether Comcast server would allow both types of account temporarily .

She likes a simple email client , does not need features , does not like Conversation mode . So I think Windows 10 email is probably good enough for her. Any other suggestions?

Windows 10 Email App Will Not Download from Comcast's Server

I recently purchased a new HP desktop with Windows 10. I use Comcast for my email. When I set up the email app, it will copy email from the Comcast server but will not pull it off the server as it did with Windows 7.

I was told by Microsoft tech support that is how it works. Is this correct? Is that is so, I will have to access my email frequently on Comcast's website to delete the messages there so I do not exceed my capacity. Is there a workaround for this?

 

how do i get my email from my comcast account

If you get your email from the internet:

1. Open any web browser.
2. Go to https://connect.xfinity.com/
3. Sign in to your Comcast account
4. Click or tap on Mail in the menu at the top of the page.

If you get your email from an email program:

Configure Your Email Settings to Comcast Email - from Comcast
