Emails gone from in-box prior to 2/5/25

All the emails in my in-box prior to 2/5/25 have disappeared.   I use apple email on my i-phone and iMac computers but when I logged into my xfinity account and looked for the emails there, they were also gone.   I did not delete them but there are emails that I deleted in my trash and the emails I deleted from trash are in the recoverable folder.

Hello user_vpx17v. Thanks for sharing the trouble you are seeing with the missing emails prior to 2/5/2025 with us on our Xfinity Forums. I'm sorry to read that the emails are gone from your devices and from the website xfinity.com. I know how vital of a communication option email is nowadays and having conversations missing can create issues. For myself I use another email client to pull my comcast.net emails and when I check I have emails prior to February 5th in my inbox as well as my deleted folder. Did you recently need to uninstall and reinstall the email clients on your phone or computer? In the Xfinity.com email settings under advanced settings is the option to leave a copy of messages on the server selected?

Thanks for reply.  I typically look at my emails on my iphone using apple mail.   There was an update to the iphone IOS I believe around 2/5/25.  When I updated the IOS, the emails disappeared from my iphone, my iMac and also the in-box at xfinity.  In my xfinity email settings, I have the POP settings for other apps set to "Keep" the emails after they have been retrieved from the email server.

Thank you for that information @user_vpx17v. I will be happy to take a further look into those lost emails if you could send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service? 

To send a direct message [private message]:

   Click the "Direct Message" 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". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

   - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

   - An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.

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

   Press Enter to send it

I received this message when I direct messaged Xfinity Support.
