Hi, Perhaps I wasn’t clear in my post I’ll try again. I understand fully the process of switching an account on one’s own device. What I was asking was this: Once enabling imap with comcast themselves can you then only access your account via that protocol or can you choose between them without comcast needing to make any further changes on their end. I.E. from comcast’s perspective is it all or nothing I.E. pick imap and that’s it or does this registration merely enable you to use imap should you wish while still maintaining pop access on another device? Is that better? Robin

You are given the choice only upon setting up the new account. For example, say you want to switch from pop to imap, as I did. First, turn off the pop account. Next, completely delete it from your Mac. Now, set up a brand new account and set it for imap. it is not possible to switch an account from one account type to another.

Just was annoyed that you have to register for it and wait, can’t just do it.

This is useful. I stopped using their email when I got more devices bedew of the Pop3 problems. Looks like you have to request the change, it’s not just there to do for yourself in case anyone else needs to do this.
