Unable to access email folders?

Many of my email folders now show up with two karat symbols prepended to the file name. Example:  folder xyz is now ^^xyz. When I click on the folder (using a chrome browser) it gives me an error message. I am also not able to rename the folder. Can anyone help?

The same thing happened to me some time prior to July 20, and now I cannot access years of stored emails from folders that I created.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums! I'm truly sorry for the frustration this has caused. I know how important it is to be able to access these emails. Have you already tried a different browser or attempted to access the folders using incognito mode on your browser? I would also recommend trying to clear your cache and cookies, log out and then log back in.

@XfinityAbbie: Note that the "Peer to Peer chat" icon is now called the "Direct Messaging" icon.

To send the requested information in a private message to Xfinity Support:

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary

  • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon or https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

  • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person", but don't do that.

      Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there. As you are typing a drop-down list appears.

  • Select "Xfinity Support" from the list. An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

  • Press Enter or tap the > icon to send it
