Not seeing how to access my old comcast.net email, nor how to make a new one

I think I changed my original email here to a new username (as opposed to creating a new email then disassociating the old one), but I need to know if I can check that old email for an old school account. I'm not seeing the old email or username anywhere in my account, nor am I even seeing how to add it back, or add a new one.

I've got another email (username?) that I created a long time ago that my browser still has the password for, but that email/username is also not on the account. I of course can't print them here for security reasons.

How do I view the other emails (or the old usernames) on the account? I just need to check their emails. They're all @comcast.net email addresses.

I go to https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us , and the options don't seem to connect to a Comcast rep from the site. The only options are "Chat with Xfinity" (which just opens Xfinity Assistant which is a useless bot that either doesn't understand the issue I'm looking for or doesn't provide a usable answer), Find an Xfinity Location, Status Center, social media like Facebook Messenger or Twitter or Reddit (which I'm not gonna use for this), or this forum.

I used to be able to click a button to email or chat with a customer service rep to get something fixed. Now I'm here.

I know I can message a specific rep if I know their name, but I don't know when they're available.

So is rep chat just gone? No way to send an email to support? I just have to post to the forum or talk to a bot or use my social media accounts or post publicly elsewhere? This seems really inefficient.

Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled There doesn't seem to be a way to contact customer support anymore

Most agents can no longer be reached this way since the Forum moved to a new host back in March, and as before, Guidelines and AUP prohibit unsolicited messages. See https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/guidelines/xfinity-forum-acceptable-use-policy/602d9c64c5375f08cd574236 and https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/guidelines/xfinity-forum-guidelines/602da8fdc5375f08cd20b38c.

You can call their Customer Service at 1-800-Xfinity (1-800-934-6489) or 1-800-Comcast (1-800-266-2278)[edited: link no longer valid] To have the chatbot connect you to an agent, type "agent" a time or two.

They discontinued the We_Can_Help email support years ago, around 2015.

To check the UserIDs on your account use the Lookup tool at https://idm.xfinity.com/myaccount/lookup on you home system. After you enter the requested information you'll see a list of the UserIDs on your account.
