Not Good -> Comcast.net Email is Moving to Yahoo!

Need to send a message to xfinity about this [Edited: "Language"] decision by leaving them altogether.
Everyone who ends up on yahoo mail says it is worse than the AOL debacle back in the 90's.
It takes days or weeks to get into their email, and between their two services (internet provider and yahoo) they play the blame game and never actually FIX anything!@

Who is "everyone"?  I don't have a problem.  And I never had any problems with AOL, either.

We appreciate your comment with feedback JimmyG1. This partnership aims to provide active comcast.net email users with continued access to their email accounts while enhancing their experience with Yahoo's modern email features, including AI-driven tools, advanced email protection, and improved mobile access. The transition will also not affect any other Xfinity services 👍

The phrase "AI" is overused. It's basically a help feature that is shoved in your face non-stop.

Not as bad as the Ads popping up, there is a $5 a month fee to get rid of these, so now will pay $60 a year Thx Comcast

@XfinitySeth​ 

really?? enhancing the user experience???  You got to be kidding.  Remember the old saying, less is more?  Email page busy as [Edited: Language] and ads galore, every 6-8 emails and to have to pay $5.00 month to subscribe to "no Ads"  Yahoo is garbage.  No longer is mailboxes simple: Inbox, Sent, Spam, & Trash.  Somes in mgmt. should be fired.

Good Morning, @PAULM20! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums. I do apologize about the experience with the Ad's and the cost per month to remove them. That fee would be associated with Yahoo directly, and I will ensure to share the feedback on our end regarding the transition to yahoo.com email.

Big problem for me. both of my emails start with the same thing ie:  xxx@comcast.net and xxx@yahoo.com    how am I going to have my emails from comcast differ from my yahoo ones? All of my "official govt" emails have gone through comcast.  Help!

Your comcast emails will stay as @comcast.net and your Yahoo! Mail will stay as @yahoo.com.  You won't have a problem there.

[Edited out actual email addresses]

Hey there @user_9p5fux thanks for reaching out with your concerns on the transition to Yahoo, @Again is correct, there are some helpful links posted above on what to expect with the transition, I'd recommend checking them out.

How long before a person will know when the merge for their account will happen. Received the email about important change on August 20th; I was already using Yahoo for comcast (added mailbox, but now the mailbox is gone and I can't see my comcast email in Yahoo anymore - I really need this fixed right away) - why can't we just add another email box to the Yahoo to keep working?

In other words, you were forwarding your comcast.net email to Yahoo, which isn't the same as migrating your comcast.net email to Yahoo.  When you migrate you will keep your @comcast.net email address and you will log in to Yahoo to check that email - no forwarding.

The transition is taking place slowly, until June of 2026, so there is no real way to know when your migration will take place.  You said you received an email August 20th about "an important change" but was it from an official Comcast email?  That email, when viewed in webmail, would have the official Xfinity verified logo next to it, so if that email didn't have that, it was probably a phishing email.
