Emails getting closed while typing and moved to "Draft" emails folder.

Emails getting closed while typing and moved to "Draft" emails folder.

I am now having the same problem that I have seen many other people complain about.  But,  I looked through the forum and just saw many complaints and unresolved issues.  My emails are getting closed while typing and moved to the "Draft" emails folder.  Now, I have a pile of draft emails across the bottom of my screen.  I have cleared out the "Draft" folder, and re-booted the program.  No luck.  This is happening while I am using Chrome to access connect.xfinity.com.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

@user_4spwht Thanks for bringing your email concerns to our attention. I cam understand how frustrating this can be. This can happen from a few things such as incorrect SMTP server settings, firewalls or antivirus software blocking access, scheduled message settings etc.

Lets work together to figure this out and provide you with a resolution.

What browser are you using? Have you tried using a different one?

When did this start?

Is it all messages or just some?

Do you have any additional email clients set up such as Outlook, iMail etc?

I have the exact same problem. The weird thing is it comes and goes. Never had the problem until a few weeks ago. Drove me crazy - Comcast was no help at all. Then it went away. Came back today. On all three computers:I have two at work and one at home. All desktop. I have read the history on this problem - been around for at least three years. What the heck?

@CYankovich​ yes i have had same problem off and on for last few months. aggrevating--doesn't wait 5 minutes to save the draft. then i lose the message-i am now typing my message in word and loading it into comcast. 

why don't they allow a person to shut off the draft feature-more trouble than it is worth for me.

dalem Have you tried using a third-party email client like Outlook? The feature you mentioned appears to be working as designed within the Xfinity Connect email. There is currently no way to modify but we will be happy to forward the feedback about this feature to our team.

We recommend using a third-party email client as a workaround, the issue should no longer happen so that you have time to compose mail without having to see them being auto-routed to your draft folder.
