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

    Which Outlook are you referring to - classic Outlook for Windows or new Outlook for Windows? What process did you use to try adding your account to Outlook? Can you log into your Comcast mailbox with a web browser? DO you have multifactor authentication or passkeys enabled for the mailbox?

    Did you update your account settings to use the Yahoo services instead of Comcast?

    Classic Outlook - was set up years ago. Have had comcast email that I check on Outlook for many years. Stopped working. Continually asks for a password. Will not send or receive on laptop or phone. I can check mail on the xfinity server.
