Hello, we appreciate you taking the time to reach out on this post. I completely understand needing access to your email, and a process on how to get back in when not having the option to reset the secondary password. When accounts are closed, our options are very limited for troubleshooting including emails. If using a 3rd party email client, we do like to ensure settings are correct: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/email-client-programs-with-xfinity-email

 

After confirming the settings. When not being able to reset the password following these steps: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/changing-or-resetting-your-password, we would direct customers to reach out to our great Customer Security Assurance team. This great team of experts has the access to help with emails on closed accounts, and can confirm customers I’ve worked with in the past have successfully been able to get back in to their email after working with the team.

 

Besides calling in the CSA experts can be contacted at 1-800-Xfinity or online: https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse. I've had customers tell me that at times they receive an error 404 message when trying to access the site. If you have trouble accessing, place the url in an incognito window, or Google: Xfinity customer security assurance and then access that way. Hope this information is helpful.

 

I can't guarantee they can retrieve them. Our awesome Customer Security Assurance experts, have been helpful at times in the past with recovering deactivated emails.

They can be reached at 1-800-XFINTY, ask for CSA team, or online here: https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse (you may need to place the url in an incognito window).

Yesterday I discovered that my [Edited: "Personal Information"] apparently does not exist any more!  I have used this email for a long time and I have this email as contact point for many things including my website registration.  I have been looking thru all these posts and I have not found any way to ask Comcast what happened.  I'm lost.  Has Comcast simply deleted all my emails? Can anyone help me?  The only email that works for me now is [Edited: "Personal Information"] or my other email [Edited: "Personal Information"].  The 800 934 6489 number gets me nowhere.  Thanks to anyone who can help me. [Edited: "Personal Information"]
