scam
I've received several message that look like scams to me. They are from [Edited: "Personal Information"], and the Topic says "Please update your mailbox for better email functionality." Then in the message there is a place to click. I'm suspicious, why would I need to update?

You don't. Such messages are almost always phishing/fraud. "Click here or else" is a scammer classic. Comcast/Xfinity does not ask us to "update" our accounts.
If this arrived at a Comcast.net email address, check your email with Comcast/Xfinity's Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/) and look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo next to any message that claims to be from Comcast/Xfinity. Note that anyone can insert an XFINITY Verified image in the body of an email, so it's important to note not only the presence of that image, but that it is in the correct locations:
See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email for examples of valid logo placement. A logo in the body of the email does not count.
If the logo is missing when you view the message in webmail, the message is not from Comcast. Unfortunately, AFAIK the logo is not present in email sent to a non-Comcast,net address, or when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you view their web email site in a browser.
Samples of recent phishing messages can be found at https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/alerts under "Top Phishing Scams".
