Outlook and Apple Mail Access
Yesterday morning , 8-21-2025, I lost access to my Comcast email thru outlook on my PC and Mail on my Iphone. None of the settings were changed. I tried to call tech support but could not get past the voice system screening. The system kept asking for, zip code, phone number or account ID. Since I am a legacy customer who kept my Comcast email address, although my account shows this data, the computer voice screener did not recognize me. I tried to transfer to an agent but got caught in an endless loop of the screener asking the same questions over and over again and could not access a live agent to check the account. I understand Comcast is migrating all their .net accounts to Yahoo mail. I have yet to receive a Yahoo Welcoming mail to make the switch. Can someone tell me what's going on with Comcast? All I can do when I sign in to my devices is send an email but not download. In order to view and transact Comcast email I have to go to the web mail. Thankfully that still works. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Greetings, @user_nnr108! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your email, but you have definitely come to the right place for assistance.
It can be a little difficult to troubleshoot these email issues without an active account because all of our troubleshooting tools are located in the account management system, but we should still be able to go over some options together. I'm happy to hear you can still access your email through the web portal. That should allow us to rule out any deactivation or inactivity issues. Can you check your email account settings through the web portal and ensure your "Allow 3rd-Part Access" is enabled? You may need to toggle it off and toggle it back on again. You can find more details about how to do this here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/third-party-email-access

The concern is not "accessibility / disability" help related............ Topic moved here to the proper help section.
