Hi. I'm Brian and I'll try to help.

Were you able to configure the account in new Outlook without any issues? What exactly happens when you try to access your mailbox? If you receive any error messages, please include them here exactly as they appear on your screen.

If you're experiencing sync issues between your Comcast email and Outlook, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your laptop is connected to the internet.
2. Verify Account Settings: Make sure that your Comcast email account settings in Outlook are configured correctly. This includes the incoming and outgoing server settings.
3. Check for Updates: Ensure that your Outlook application is up to date. Sometimes, updates can resolve sync issues.
4. Clear Offline Items: If you suspect that the issue is with a specific folder, you can clear offline items for that folder. Right-click the folder, select Properties, then Clear Offline Items, and finally click OK. After that, go to the Send/Receive tab and select Update Folder.
5. Rebuild the .ost File: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider deleting the .ost file associated with your Comcast account and allowing Outlook to recreate it. Be cautious if you have local data that is not present on the server; in that case, export your data to a .pst file before deleting the .ost file.

If these steps do not resolve the sync issues, you may want to consult Comcast's support for specific settings related to their email service.
