Xfinity/Comcast email issues

Is anyone having issues with xfinity/comcast emails?  I use comcast email via the webpage.  I've been having active emails I'm writing automatically close out while I'm typing and it'll put it in the draft folder.  Message on the email window says "The mail draft could not be found on the server.  It was sent or deleted in the meantime." 

Yesterday my email usage limit was maxed out for some reason when I was around 60%.  Turns out emails from our sent folder circa 2022 that I deleted to make space all got brought back somehow and filled up all the usage.  While this happened all my emails from early January 9 to February 4 are just gone.  Nothing in the deleted folder or any other folder, just gone!  This leads me to believe that the deleted emails when they came back and filled up the usage, my newer emails got deleted to make space for the old ones.  Major issue as I lost important emails for different projects. 

Is there any way to roll emails back or recover the recent ones I lost?  And is there any way to stop these issues from happening?

@user_q0ugwl Are the emails that are from January 9th - February 4th are from 2023 or 2022?

Thanks for the reply!

No luck with recovering the emails this way.   I see the emails I deleted myself but not the recent ones that disappeared.

This issue has been resolved.  Unsure how as I didn't do anything but my missing emails there this morning.  Possibility of Xfinity server issues that untangled itself?

Does anyone know how I can get help with resetting my email Primary User? I made a mistake and assigned my Primary User as a Viewer, and now have no way of signing in as the Primary User to fix anything. Automated online help is not helping at all. Thanks
