I discovered both iptables and nftables were installed. The Debian Wiki indicated with Debian Buster (10) and onward, nftables will be used.

I attempted to remove iptables and it also wanted to remove connman and connman-gtk. Removing iptables without dependencies will result in connman being listed as a broken package.

I was then able to removbe nftables, which did not have dependencies, keeping iptables installed. However, re-enabling IPv6 in Thunderbird after all this, did not correct this problem and both it and Claws Mail remain unable to connect to Comcast's IMAP server.

I have other IMAP servers configured in both Thunderbird and Claws Mail and neither have a problem connecting to all those other non-Comcast servers. Comcast's IMAP server has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in DNS, but the other IMAP servers I access only show IPv4 addresses.
