Transitioning to Yahoo Mail with an Existing & Matching @comcast.net Yahoo account

How did you get that set up?

@sarax3 

Hi. I just found out that all @Comcast.net emails are transitioning to Yahoo Mail. I haven’t received my email invitation yet but I have an existing Yahoo account with a username of *****@comcast.net that matches my username for my Comcast email. How will the transition work for me if they are the same exact username but obviously different passwords? I might be a minority here in this. Just wondering if there’s something I can do to make sure the migration works correctly. I’ve had issues with my Comcast email for years saying the inbox is full (storage) and I won’t receive new mail. A lot of emails never arrive in my inbox so I’m eager to get the migration completed to avoid this problem. 

Were you meaning you have a Yahoo mail account whose username matches the username of your comcast.net account [ xxxxx@yahoo.com & xxxxx@comcast.net ] where the x's are identical?  If so, no need to worry.  Your comcast.net account will transfer over exactly as it is here.

As far as your email storage problems here, you can sign in to webmail and click on the gear icon to see how much storage you've used, and from there you can delete emails as needed.

None of you are hearing or reading the person's post. They created a Yahoo account using their @Comcast.net account and during the creation, they chose My Email as the answer when setting up the account. This does NOT create an @yahoo.com email account. Just like you can use any email account to create a Google account and not get mail, you can do the same at Yahoo. He wants to know what happens in that situaton. I want to know as well becase I can see this is a huge freight train headed toward people who click on the link in Comcast to set things up at Yahoo only to find they already have a Yahoo account using that exact same email address and no @Yahoo.com address.

Have the engineers even considered this since a whole lot of people do it (I'm in IT and I have dozens of clients with just an @comcast.net email address as their @yahoo.com account.). Now that the issue is explained further, Please tell us what the answer is oh great digital gurus of Xfinity.  

... all their financial accounts tied to their Comcast.net email address ...

Not a problem. As @Again explained above, users with Comcast.net email addresses who migrate to Yahoo will still have the very same Comcast.net email address. They'll need to login to Yahoo (or access Yahoo's POP, IMAP, or SMTP servers) to send and receive messages, but the Comcast.net addresses will continue to function. Of course, users who fail to migrate will, at some undetermined future date, will lose their Comcast.net addresses.
