Secondary email account deleted yesterday>

We were Comcast customers years ago.  We have had two comcast.net email addresses active since then.  Yesterday the secondary email stopped working on my phone and is no longer visible in the Xfinity email online.  

I have read through multiple FAQs and how tos.  I cannot add the email back.  

How do I get this recovered?

user_mrm621, Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to visit XFINITY over our forums page for help with that secondary email. As someone who relys on my emails for my job and business, I understand the incovnenience that this can cause. I am sorry to learn that it stopped working. We can help. Before noticing the email issue, do know if the email was successfull accessed within the past 9 months? The reason why I ask is if it wasn't, the email address would not be recoverable.

I am having same issue originally we had primary and 4 secondary emails.   we now are down to 3, our primary and 2 secondary emails that are used regulary.   In the past 2 weeks we have had issues logging in and had to reset the primary password.   Since then I no longer have disability to the secondary emails and the secondary emails have stopped working.   My daughter was able to reset her password and it is now working my son tried resetting but when he entered his phone number it said the primary user needed to log in but when I log in there are no secondary emails

Are you a former or current Comcast customer?  How are you accessing your emails? through the website or through a 3rd party app like Outlook or Thunderbird?

If you hadn't logged in to the website in the last 9 months to get your email and the secondary accounts aren't showing, it's a possibility they can't be recovered.  You can call Customer Security Assurance to see if they can recover them, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to do so.
