Trouble getting Comcast e-mail on Droid 2

Considering returning my newly purchased Droid 2 (and switching to AT&T to get latest Blackberry) because it does not consistently get my Comcast acct emails. I worked with Verizon tech today and downloaded K-9 Mail app which worked beautifully for about 15 minutes. The e-mail app that came on the Droid worked okay for a few days and then it didn't. I've seen posts in non-Verizon groups recounting problems that others are having with Droid and Comcast e-mail, but none of them seem to have found solutions that last. Anybody have success with Comcast e-mail and Droid 2?

What do you mean exactly when you say it stops?

Is it no longer getting your emails, does it give an error?

I have Timewarner which bought Comcast in some areas, my email works just fine.

I've been having trouble with Comcast mail on my wife's Droid 1 as well. Pehaps we need to follow up with comcast on this issue as well.

In her case the problem is that she marks stuff as read and then a few minutes later she get's a notification telling her that there is new email. The ones that she just marked as read.

She also had a set of emails (8 or so) that no matter what, the phone kept insisting were unread. We marked them as read on the phone. Sync'd and they'd be ok for a bit, but then later would come back as unread. Marked them unread in the browser. Phone would still notify us that they were unread.

I know I'm not really helping, but you aren't the only one :smileyhappy:

Set your Comcast email up to forward to your Gmail account. Then set it up to be able to send Comcast email through your Gmail.

Sounds like she has the notifications set on Comcast ... to leave the messages on the server...
