Your inactive comcast.net email account will soon be closed

I keep getting the message "Your inactive comcast.net email account will soon be closed" even though I have logged into my email every day. How can I determine which comcast.net account it is referring to? I have tried to speak to an agent (human being) and can't get past the useless bot.

@user_asw134 - Howdy! Are you the online email user on the account? You can view the primary and secondary users from the main admin panel of the Xfinity user profile. Appreciate you getting us in the loop to help.

That is the problem. I need to know from the Comcast side which account they are referring to??? (If I am getting the message, Comcast should know what account they are referring to!) There are three accounts and each one of them have accessed their email and I am still getting the message.

Typically the account recieving the message is the one that is impacted. Here are the steps you would want to take in order to ensure the account stays active. I would advise to also sign in using the same steps below on the other two accounts as well. 

  • How to check your account status: You can check your account status by: 
    1. Going to customer.xfinity.com/settings/xid/uidemail 
    2. Signing in with your Xfinity ID and password
  • What to do: To reactivate your account, you can: 
     
    1. Sign in to the Xfinity Email website
  • What to keep in mind :
    • If you want to keep your account active, you need to sign in at least once every 12 months 
    • Starting November 1, 2024, accounts that have been inactive for more than two years will be closed after 90 days

This doesn't make sense... If I am logging into my email, which I assume it means it's active, why should I be getting the message. I need to know from the Comcast side which account they are generating the message from... How can I speak to an agent to get this resolved??? The bot is useless.

HI there, Shiva81! We want to make sure those messages are not coming through for another email box associated with your account.

I deleted an unused account. I only have 2 left. Myself and my wife who use our email daily. Stil receiving the message.  The warning message should indicate which account is being de-activated. Programing 101!!!  This is very frustrating. Wasted a lot of time on this. Still getting the warning.

I'm also receiving this message and I'm in my email daily.  My other associated account has been activated but I am still receiving this message.  Getting a real person when calling for support is impossible!

@user_asw134 and @Anon393765 - Thank you so much for posting your concerns here, and keeping us up-to-date with the message(s) you're seeing/receiving. We were recently advised of these notices going out, starting 11/08/24, and I would love to provide you with all the information I have! Essentially, we're notifying customers with a Comcast email that hasn't been used in over two years that the email account will be automatically closed in 90 days. This should not have any impact on email accounts actively being used.

 

We're notifying everyone who qualifies by sending emails to other saved email addresses on their accounts, and via text message. So, I apologize for any confusion, these messages are not going to the affected addresses (but to other ones on the account that you actively use). That being said, you do not need to worry about active email accounts being closed. If you are not worried about an email account which hasn't been used in over two years being closed, then there's nothing further you need to do.

 

If you do have concerns, we recommend signing in to the inactive mailbox within 90 days of the notice you received. You can also download your email data and delete the email account, or do nothing and allow it to be deleted automatically. Please let me know if you still have any questions! Our Digital Care Team is awesome to work with, and we will always do whatever we can to support you in the best way possible :)

This is message is causing a lot of worry and confusion. There is only one email address attached to this account/profile and is logged into every day. Yet, it still appears when I log into my account.

I have the same problem.  One week ago I logged into all the accounts.  Sent emails from each one.  Still get the message when logging into the account I used day to day.

Hello slow_email, thank you for coming to our Forum for help with that notification. I basically live out of my inbox, so I'd be pretty alarmed to see a notification like that. Thank you for already logging into your email accounts and letting me know. To confirm, you logged into the Xfinity Connect website with each unique comcast email? If so, does the notification you receive specify an email?

that is correct.  Rebooted cleared browser cache.  sent emails between accounts. cleared trash.  checked all email accounts from the main account.  checked the listings. On a separate issue I would like to have a mobile number associated with each account.  However, it does not allow the use of the same mobile number for the other accounts.  So, do you have to 5 or 6 mobile numbers?  If so, not very workable.

slow_email, I appreciate you taking all those steps on your end already. Have you received that same notification since you took these steps? I'm wondering if maybe the notification was a crossed wire and sent prior to those steps. Regarding having the same number, you would need a different one to associate with each email.

I've been told through xfinity chat that my email account is active, and to disregard this banner notification that appears when signing into the xfinity login page.  It is not an email I received addressed to me personally telling me my email account(s) will be closed, but a banner message that appears after logging in to the main xfinity account page.  I wasted 45 minutes on a chat trying to get the person to understand that.  She said my account is active and to disregard, but I'm still afraid something is going to be deleted that I can't get back even though I log in daily, and have done so for years.  If this is just a general heads-up sort of announcement to every single person with a comcast email, then it should say so, instead of panicking everyone.  I really hope the person I dealt with is correct, and I have nothing to worry about, because I have no idea how to be any more active on my email than I already am!

I am still having the same issue. Deleted 2 inactive accounts. Still see the same banner message. Extremely poor information on which "account" the banner message is referring to.  I am sure support is inundated with calls (even though you can't seem to talk to a human) only a useless bot.  VERY FRUSTRATING. Fix this please...
