Email down

I haven't received an email since 9:10 am. Two contacts emailed me since that time, and I have not received the emails. Also, sent mail is not working. Please advise.

(I rebooted my modem and router, didn't help.)

If an employee doesn't reply to your message here, Comcast Security Assurance should be able to help. You can reach them at 1-888-565-4329 (from https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse/). Note that this is NOT one of the general customer service numbers.

The first-line reps there are sometimes not very helpful, so you may need to be persistent and keep at them until you get a satisfactory answer.

Hello @user_2baf0b, thanks for visiting our Forums page and bringing this email concern to our attention. I know the importance of being able to send/receive emails, so I definitely understand your concerns. I have not seen any reports of this being a known issue on our end, but we can definitely further investigate/troubleshoot this for you. 

 

To confirm, are you able to successfully send emails?

I stopped receiving emails this morning as well.  I've checked all the settings.  My husband's account still works fine.  I no longer have xfinity as my cable/internet provider -- just use them for mail, so they won't help.  What can I do?

I continue to use my comcast.net e-mail address although I no longer use Xfinity for my internet service.  I stopped receiving e-mail on my comcast.net address at some point this morning.  What can I do to try to restore it?  It's not an internet issue.

I can't say I'm happy with a 24-hour e-mail outage. Hopefully, it won't take that long to fix the faulty mail server.

No incoming email. Last received email: 9:19am, 11/11.
Sending mail works, based on test messages cc’ing non-Comcast address. They don’t show up in Comcast.net addresses.

ZIP 05452

I use a mail client (Thunderbird), or iPad mail, not webmail, the “clear cookies and cache” dance does nothing.

We moved to a new timeshare in Hawaii. Had no email issues in the old place. Using timeshare supplied wifi to connect and refuses login (using mail programs) for multiple accounts. Webmail works just fine for all accounts. Disconnecting from wifi and using wife’s phone as a hotspot (only using cellular data) and everything works fine. Obviously, Comcast changed IP address filtering. Please fix this!
