URGENT: Requesting Tier 3 Server Rollback for Mass Email Deletion (CSA/Tech Support Discrepancies)

Account Verification Note: I am the primary account holder. I can provide my account details via private message to an Official Employee.
Issue Summary:
Today, an accidental mass deletion occurred, clearing thousands of critical emails from my Inbox. I contacted the Customer Security Assurance (CSA) team within 30 minutes. A subsequent call about 6 hours later to another CSA rep resulted in me being transferred to Technical Support, who provided conflicting information, and I was explicitly told that no ticket or account notes were logged regarding my initial CSA call about this massive data loss.
Technical Details & Discrepancies:
  1. The Tool Behavior: I manually used the "Recover Deleted Items" tool on the Xfinity Connect Webmail site. It only successfully recovered items originally in my Trash, plus fewer than 50 recent Inbox emails. The tool is now completely empty.
  2. Missing Data: Thousands of historical Inbox emails remain missing and have not populated in the webmail interface.
  3. Conflicting Support Advice: The last technician stated that the thousands of missing emails would trickle back into my Trash folder in automated batches over the next 7 days, and claimed that Comcast cannot open a backend ticket for email restoration.  The first CSA representative had told me that my emails would be restored after a couple of hours.
Requested Actions:
Because this involves thousands of vital personal and professional records, I need an Official Xfinity Employee to escalate this directly to a Tier 3 Server Engineer or Senior CSA Administrator to perform a Server Side Mailbox Rollback / Restore to yesterday's backup state. Please reply to this thread so I can securely send my account information and initiate the formal escalation ticket

Update: As of 6:15 PM on 9/13, only 5 total emails have trickled into the recovery tool (3 on 9/12 and 2 on 9/13). The automated process is clearly stalled. I need an Official Employee to manually pull the server log.  Please help recover my emails

Hello @user_82oyva thank you for taking the time to reach out on our community forum. I understand how important it is to restore those emails. CSA is the best department to assist with this as we do not have the access that they do to handle the email issues. Did they give you any further information about a follow-up or did you request to escalate this with them?

@XfinityAbby​ //  The first CSA agent told me that there would be no need to recontact CSA as the issue would be resolved in approx. 2 hours.  After about 6 hours, I called CSA back and spoke to another CSA agent who was immediately transferred me to tech support after I briefly explained the problem.  Tech support confirmed that the deleted emails were available for retrieval for 30 days. After placing me on hold to consult with others, Tech support told me that all the deleted emails would return in waves into my Trash file for recovery, but that I could call back if I did not see this occurring. I asked for the work ticket number to refer to if I had to call someone back.  He said that there was no work ticket.

A new issue is that I am not receiving new emails to my Inbox.  I sent an email from another email account to my Comcast address and it has not been received in my Inbox.

Who should I call, CSA or Tech Support?  Please provide the number that I should call to request that my issues be escalated.

@user_82oyvaI would say to give CSA another call or report the issue on their direct website link. Here is a link to their contact information. Customer Security assurance

Thank you.  I reached out to CSA after receiving your response.  The agent was helpful and promised that the emails would be restored to a Recovery folder in my account within 2 hours.  She provided a ticket number and advised me to call back if the emails were not in my account Recovery folder in two hours.  After six hours passed with no Recovery folder, I called again and spoke to another agent who determined that my emails were recovered and restored within one of my other existing folders (i.e. not a Recovery folder).  He walked me through moving the emails back to my Inbox.  Although it took several calls, I am happy to report that all emails appear to have been restored.
