Suddenly can’t open email attachments

Every time I open try to open any email attachments in the last two weeks, it says “ERROR. File cannot be saved”. Until the last couple of weeks, I have always been able to open my email attachments. I have turned my phone off a couple of times and turned it back on but no change. What do I need to do in order to open them and view them again?

I have the same problem, along with not being able to reply or forward emails from the Xfinity Connect app. Surely there’s a solution to this!

Have you tried logging into webmail and opening the attachments there?  If you're successful, you might want to consider deleting the app from your phone and then downloading a fresh copy of whatever email app you're using [you should be using the Connect app] and set it up again and see if that solves the problem.

Yes, everything works fine on webmail. I was considering uninstalling/reinstalling the Connect app but wasn’t sure that would help. I haven’t been notified that there’s an updated version of the app

You need to give us more information.

How are you accessing your email? webmail or an email client?

What kind of attachments are they?

Are you getting any error messages?

The Xfinity Connect email app has been discontinued since this thread was started.  I use the Outlook app on my android moto z4 phone and Xfinity web mail access at https://connect.xfinity.com on my iPad.  There are other email apps you can try from your devices' App Store.
