You can do this using webmail ("https://connect.xfinity.com/") on a desktop or laptop by selecting the messages you want to forward and then hitting the Forward arrow. The resulting message contains the selected messages as attachments, and may or may not be formatted as you had hoped.
If you are using a mobile device you may need to open webmail in a browser that offers a "Desktop Site" mode, like Google Chrome.
Thanks, but I've already done as you suggest. Only one email at a time is forwarded this way. (Yes, with attachments, if any.) But I have 79 emails on same subject to forward to colleague and prefer not to send them one-at-a-time. Would like to highlight/check all 79, click 'forward' and be able to type in addressee once, then have all 79 magically forwarded to named colleague. Seems like this should be simple in software, but is not happening, at least not for me.
As stated above, when I try this at https://connect.xfinity.com/ on a desktop each message I select is included as attachment in a single outgoing message. If I select 5 emails and then hit Forward, Xfinity Connect creates a single email with 5 attachments.
Are you using Xfinity Connect webmail or something else? What kind of device (desktop/laptop/phone/tablet) are you using? Also with what OS (Mac/Windows/other)?
I am using https://connect.xfinity.com/ on a Dell Laptop with Windows 10. I am not sure what you mean by 'on a desktop' as when I click https://connect.xfinity.com/ in your answer I just open another copy of Comcast (xfinity) email. Okay, I tried with 5 emails, and yes, it works as you say. However, 11 emails just spins and spins then, the 'forward' message box just goes away. I actually 79 emails I want to forward all at once, so I guess I'm out of options. Thanks for trying!
How big are the emails you are working with? Be aware that if they are large or have large attachments, you may be approaching Comcast's size limit of 25 MB per message. See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/limitations-on-sending-email. I ran a test with 21 messages, but they were only about 50KB each, so roughly 1MB total.
No problem! Please let us know if there is anything else we can do on our end. Thanks so much for reaching out and keeping us in the loop.

Got it. Thanks. Just have to find another way to get these files transferred without using Comcast email system. Thanks.
