Comcast email client replacement

Question

I don't know if this is possible, but I'm looking for a comcast email client that will allow me to DELETE files on the server, but otherwise not move them from the server to the client... something like IMAP with delete capability.

The problem is that Comcrap has one of the worst email clients I've ever encountered. It asks for confirmation of deletes regardless of keystroke combos, and it's astoundingly slow, even on a 200 Mbit internet connection. It has to be one of the worst piles of garbage ever made for email.

I have not played with the Comcast client much so I do not know what interface you are used to. It ran a search on the email services and it also appears that an ActiveSync connection is not available to their system. So it appears IMAP is your poison. I use eM Client as my email program and the interface is nearly the same as Outlook. The only limitation in the free version is you can only configure it for two email accounts. I think you may get hooked on it. I use LibreOffice for all other home office processing needs. It can prove to be somewhat buggy, so for most users I recommend Google Docs as an alternative to MS Office. Here is the link to eM Client. http://www.emclient.com/features

As well here are your IMAP Settings
