Email inaccessible

I am no longer an xfinity customer but continue to use Comcast.net email. On the primary user account I am getting ip blocked error in thunderbird and also cannot access 2 secondary accounts at all, as xfinity decides when the password needs changed, but leaves no option to change it if you don't use xfinity wi fi. So I cannot receive email for 3 active comcast email accounts. And the icing on the cake is the horrid customer service, trying to get someone on the phone is next to impossible. I would like to, at this point, just to terminate the 3 active email accounts to end this nightmare for good. Can anyone direct me to an easy solution to end this fiasco?

Hi there, @tammy228. It looks like we have an active private messaging conversation going with you regarding your email. We were waiting on a response to our last message, sent yesterday afternoon. We can continue there if you wish. To answer your question for this post though, the primary user can delete the secondary email accounts by logging in to www.xfinity.com, going to "Account and identity", scrolling down to "Account users" and selecting a user then hitting the "remove user" button. As for the primary, you cannot delete it. If you stop accessing it, then it will eventually go inactive and then auto delete. The process takes 24 months. That goes for the secondary accounts as well. If you simply stop accessing them, they will eventually auto-delete.

@XfinityFrank​ the secondary accounts are no longer visible under the primary account. This is the second time I am dealing with password resets and I am just fed up at this point. I have transitioned what I can to my Gmail account.

I apologize this has been a headache, @tammy228 . We never want that for you. Each email box/Xfinity ID needs a unique cell phone number or 3rd party email address associated with it. This is for password resets. I have seen this same thing happen on other accounts that did not have one of the options associated with the email box/Xfinity ID. 

 

You spoke with us in a direct message yesterday so I was able to confirm that those options are missing on your secondary email boxes/User IDs. Our Customer Security Assurance team is able to get the options added for you. The passwords would then be able to be reset and access to the email boxes restored. This link shows the teams contact information and available hours, https://spa.xfinity.com/contact-us. Will you be able to give them a call sometime today?
