Suspicious emails about the transition to Yahoo email.

What extensions do you use in Firefox - Adblock Plus or Ublock Origin? I used Firefox ever since it branched out of Netscape, but as it became more and more like the hated-by-me Chrome GUI, I switched to Waterfox and Brave - I've used probably 5-6 different Mozilla based browsers over the last 20 or so years and have never seen anything like the screenshot you posted - I also heavily modified my browser settings and userChrome.css file, so it may be something I'm blocking from showing up. But nope, and I just disabled both ad blockers, still don't see anything remotely close to what you posted - I don't think I can even block something like that "verified" logo by modifying the css file, it's mostly used (by me at least) to get rid of useless items in my right click menu and to modify text spacing and fonts. I have 3 Yahoo accounts and 2 Gmail accounts besides my 2 Comcast accounts, frequently forward emails from one account to another, both from the webmail page and from my PC's email client Windows Mail (POP3), so you can say I've "tested" this multiple times. No need to reply unless you want to since in a few months it won't matter anyway, Comcast webmail is going away.

It's probably something that you have modified because I just downloaded Waterfox and here is what I see in my webmail:

If you've modified Brave and don't see that, either, well..... And, I know it does show up in Chrome [which I don't like, either, nor Edge].

@Again​ I never got an email saying you responded to my last post - just got a new one alerting me that someone had added a new comment to this thread then I found yours. I don't use a CSS file with Brave - you can't, at least not in the same easy way you can use a CSS file with a Firefox/Mozilla based browser - they made it so difficult it's not worth the effort, you have to create every custom modification rule one by one instead of editing one text file.  BTW, in Brave using Xfinity webmail I *did* see the verified icon next to the "Community Mailer" email alerting me to the new post here - the reason I don't see that icon in Waterfox is because I have two Comcast email addies, and the main one I use here is always open in Brave - in Waterfox I stay logged into my secondary personal email addy, so I shouldn't see the "verified" icon because Community Mailers don't go to that account.

@berkeleyboone​ I suggest you learn how to use a computer based email client like Thunderbird or Windows Mail (not the Win10 version, it stinks - I still use the email client that came with Vista PCs and POP3 the Comcast servers every 5 minutes to download new mail. I have a dozen different personal folders in WinMail to keep things organized by subject, but years ago when I was having trouble downloading emails I tried Thunderbird, easy to set up using the POP3 settings on the Xfinity website, but it was impossible to recreate those unique folders and import the correct emails into them from WinMail because it uses something called a "WindowsMail.MSMessageStore" file (a database) to store all emails - the folders I see in WinMail are sort of fake, they refer to specific emails in that file. I've used Yahoo email since it first came into existence and it's changed a lot over the years - not for the better either, because a private equity group bought Yahoo from Verizon around 2018 and started making all kinds of changes to monetize the free Yahoo email accounts. Don't know what browser or OS you use, but in Firefox you can use Adblock Plus and/or the Ublock extension to hide all of those ads you see on the Yahoo webmail page, and very little of my 16:9 monitor is filled with empty space on the right side of the main email page - see attached photo - but I use extensions in Firefox to resize website fonts and zoom settings so you may not see things the way I see them. Note: I edited this screenshot to black out personal identifying info, those are the black boxes - otherwise it's exactly what I see.

@berkeleyboone​ I too was "voluntold" to migrate to the Yahoo Mail system from Xfinity and while I am not adverse to change this one just plain [Edited: Language].  I agree with you on the reasoning and I feel like I have to do this as my Xfinity email address is embedded in so many places and I can not afford to change.  I also don't like the platform especially on a mobile device.  I shouldn't have to pay for add-free since I am being forced to do this.  Xfinity is just trying to reduce their expenses my not offering an email subsystem - but are they going to pass that savings on to it's customer?  Of course not.

This is a transition that will be rolling out to all of our customers gradually through 2026. We appreciate your feedback regarding the cost, and we will send that to our team for further review.
