Switching to Yahoo email

There seems to be a lot of confusion and frustration regarding the switch from Xfinity to Yahoo email. When I searched to see if it's a requirement to switch, all of the info I read says no. When I'm on Xfinity's FAQ page, it says it's not required. What is going on?

It is not a requirement to switch, but if you don't switch you will eventually lose your @comcast.net email address.

user_o6bg5p Thank you for stopping in with your questions regarding the transition to Yahoo email for our Comcast.net email customers.  There are three options I can break down for the transition.

Option 1: Accept Yahoo TOS

  • Retain your @comcast.net email address.
  • Continue using your email using Yahoo Mail with enhanced spam protection and calendar integration.
  • Gain access to 20 GB storage, mobile access, and AI-powered features.

Option 2: Export your data

  • Use the Xfinity Email Data Transfer Tool at export.comcast.com to download your emails and contacts or simply close your account.
    • This is ideal if you plan to switch to a different email provider.

Option 3: Do nothing

  • Choose not to upgrade and continue accessing your comcast.net email through the Xfinity Mail platform.
