​My emails on the Xfinity website only stay in my inbox for about a month. How can I extend this?​

Messages in the webmail Inbox should stay there indefinitely unless a person or program removes them. Please see https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/set-email-deletion-settings. In addition, Email Expert @Latoque and Employee @XfinityGabrielS have posted:

  • Spam is stored for 7 days or 5,000 messages, whichever comes first
  • Trash is stored for 14 days or 5,000 messages, whichever comes first
  • Messages deleted from Trash are kept for 30 days or 15,000 messages, whichever comes first. These can be recovered (see https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/apps/faq/index.html#recoverEmail) and do not count against the 10GB mailbox limit
  • Messages in the remaining folders are kept indefinitely
  • If the 10GB mailbox limit is exceeded, new messages are not accepted
  • Users cannot change these settings
