Can I do yahoo migration before official email notification?

It's not clear that you will actually get one. I've had 4 addresses migrated to Yahoo, and did not receive a notification email for any of them. But you don't need the email. You can check the status of your email address by logging in to https://xfinityconnect.email.comcast.net/emailMigration. If the account you logged in with is ready to be migrated, that page will say:

You're invited to upgrade your email account to Yahoo Mail ... 

If the ID has already been migrated, the page will say:

Your Comcast.net email account is accessible at Yahoo Mail ...

(I'm not sure what that page will say if your email is NOT ready to be migrated. It might just redirect to the webmail page.)

Thank you for response.  I am just directed to webmail page.  I keep getting Quota warning emails from postmaster.  I delete emails daily but still go over limit.

I just want to migrate to Yahoo in hopes the capacity will be larger and I won't have the issues.

Any way to find out when the email to migrate will be sent?  This is very frustrating.

If you're using a third party app that isn't deleting email when you fetch it, you need to go to webmail to delete emails if you aren't already.

There is no way to find out when the email to migrate will be sent.  And if you're using a third party email app you need to periodically check webmail or use the link that @BruceW gave you.

The contents of all your folders count against your quota, even the contents of Trash count against it. If you deleted messages but didn't empty the Trash folder, you still won't be under quota. You need to empty the Trash folder.
