The concern is not "Non-X1 Service" help related. Thread moved here to the proper help section for assistance.

Hey there! I am truly sorry to hear you are having and issue with getting a new email added. Normally with this error, clearing your cache and cookies on the browser will help. Have you tried doing that, and then go back to create that?

Thank you for attempting that. In order to create a new email address, you must create a new username by following the instructions here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/adding-new-user-names-or-email-addresses. Have you attempted to do this?

Followed your link - After clicking Account and Identify the Add someone new under list of current users is missing' Only invite family and friends so I did - then Select Manager, Member or Viewer. Clicked Manager, asked me for name, mobile # and E mail clicked send and again Error Modal popped up. Same thing as last time(s) - in a loop ! So tried MEMBER same thing .......... why is this so hard? Both my phone #'s are correct

Looks like there must be something on the backend that is causing this. Typically, this is usually an easy process. Can you send us a DM with your name and address? We would love to look more into this.

Here's the detailed steps to direct message us:

• Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the “chat" icon (upper right corner of this page)

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

• Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list

• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

• Press Enter to send your message

I no longer work for Comcast.

It is unbelievable! Creating a new email address and adding it to an account should be the easiest, most stress free thing to do on the internet yet Comcast has made this simple task complicated and frustrating. Comcast, if I may make a suggestion. Have one of your Jr. IT employees make it so all your customers have to do is: 1. Sign In 2. Go to account 3. Add new email address 4. Enter. WaLa!!

I know you’re asking OP but I was unable to create an additional email address. I continued to get that Error Modal message. I called 800-COMCAST but did not have the time or patience to complete the maze to speak with an agent. I will have to try again when I have an hour of free time and am not feeling frustrated.

It shouldn't, especially if you create the new user as a Viewer, compared to the other two user types.

Note that you need to be logged in as the Primary user to do this.

After the new user account is created, you'll need to log in with the new ID to https://connect.xfinity.com/ and accept the terms to complete creation of the new user's email account.
