Anyone who has already gotten the "Invitation to Upgrade"
Since I haven't got mine yet and, as a matter of fact, the only reason I know about it is because of this forum. Is there ANYTHING in it that makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that you must accept the "upgrade" and that if you don't you will lose access to comcast email (since the overview link provides zero mention of this)?

Good day JPWildman2 👋 I can certainly understand the concern about making sure your comcast.net email address is secured, and we're here to help! To clarify for you, while not outright stated in our Yahoo Email Migration overview at xfinity.com/support/articles/yahoo-email-migration-overview, I can confirm for you that you would not lose your access through our regular email client should you not want to migrate over to Yahoo email.
I would recommend keeping the overview handy as it contains answer for lots of other FAQs on our Yahoo migration, and be sure to keep an eye out for your invitation coming soon 👍 Let me know if you have any questions.

I have not upgraded my main Comcast address to Yahoo. I have not been told I have to and I probably will not.
My "important" mail comes thru this address and I like the filter rules that I have set up here.
I did move my "junk" Comcast address to Yahoo and here's what happened:
I now have 2 Yahoo accounts. The original one and a "new" stripped down version for the Comcast address. I do not want 3 Yahoo accounts.
It is missing a lot of traditional Yahoo features but you can sort by sender. This feature is important to be able to mass delete old emails without losing that important receipt or photo lost way back in time. This is the reason I hate G-mail. Pretty soon Google and Yahoo will have a monopoly on E-mail and you will have to pay & neither will let you forward mail.
I use Thunderbird as a permanent store for mail and it will let me sort G-Mail by sender.
For a while my Comcast address would download to the client but recently it stopped. I tried resetting as both IMAP and POP but either I have the wrong port setting or Xfinity is blocking. You must have latest Thunderbird version and if you haven't used it for a year you may need to upgrade in 4-5 steps.
Anyone still getting it to work?
