I've been watching this thread as well as the previous ComCast blocking threads and though I am no fan of ComCast and would drop them like a hot rock if I had another alternative, I have to say that I have never had any issues with them dropping or blocking POP3, IMAP or SMTP traffic from my home. I currently connect to my work e-mail (Groupwise 7) and GMail accounts, via IMAP and SMTP and have never had any issues.<br>

</div>My port 993 secure IMAP connection is working fine. There wouldn't be<br>
