The concern is not "accessibility / disability" help related............ Topic moved here to the proper help section for assistance.

The contents of all your folders count against your quota, not just Inbox. Even the contents of Trash count against it. If you deleted a bunch of messages but didn't empty Trash, you still won't be under quota.

Thank you Bruce! Everything was deleted on the account including trash. Has this happen to you as well?

No, I keep my mailbox petty tidy, I don't think I've ever seen my usage over 1%. But I know it does happen and sometimes users don't realize that the messages they delete still count against the quota if the Trash folder hasn't been emptied. Of course, sometimes the cause is something Comcast/Xfinity has done and beyond user control. Good luck with this!

Hello,

As the note above stated, I received an email on my comcast.net email from [Edited: "Personal Information"] stating my email has reached 100% of my quota. I deleted most all of my old emails in my inbox, sent, trash (permently deleted). 

Now I still can not receive emails or send out emails? Please help! 

I pay my Xfinity service bill, with out issues.  Why can Xfinity stop my service!  Can I stop paying for my Xfinity services - TV, Phone, Data and Security?

This is total [Edited: "Language"]!

Hey there, @user_x5r0ji! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums! I am very sorry to hear about the experience with the inbox being full, I know it can be frustrating. Are you using your comcast.net email on a third party mail client or access it online?

You aren't paying for email; it's not a line item on your billing statement.

As for sending and receiving....

Let us know if this helped clear out some space in your email account.
