Can't view attachments
I have always been able to either view or download attachments in my emails. All of a sudden I can no longer just view them. I get an error message saying I have to download. This happens on every device that I read my emails on.

The concern is not "Community Center" help related............ Topic moved here to the proper help section for assistance.

What kinds of files are producing that error? On my own Connect email "View" seems to work for JPG/JPEG images and MP4 audio files, but displays the "Download " message for PDF files. That's new. Just a few days ago Connect displayed PDF files with no problem.

I am having the same problems. I used to be able to view or download pdf and excel files. Now I get message "an error occurred while loading the document so it cannot be displayed. Please download the file by using the button below.
This has just started. Files which displayed before no longer display

I am having the same problem. I've followed all the advice, and nothing works. It is on my MacBook and my iPhone. Just started I think this past week. It's recent. I did notice if you click on the more actions it gives an option to view pdf and it shows as view that way but that's also cumbersome.

Yet another user who is having the same problem on all my devices. I am retrieving my emails through the Xfinity website so no third party being used. I would think you would have a solution by now given the number of people with this same issue. Very frustrating. Please do something about this as soon as possible ...

They don't have a resolution for this problem. They did tell me that Xfinity email is moving to Yahoo platform and this should resovle it. I confirmed with Yahoo and it is true. You can also check for yourself. This is so frustrating as it don't matter which PC you use, I still get the same error, not having the choice to view or download, contsantly wants me to download. I have figured out a temporary solutuion. Steps, press print and you can view the attachment that way.
