I can't load my emails for only 1 of my accounts

Even though I'm authenticated I cannot load emails from 1 of my 3 Comcast accounts.  I've tried multiple different browsers and devices, and none of them successfully load for this same account, even though I've properly signed in and can use other account specific services.

Hello user_2zbs6b, email issues are the worst, so I can only imagine what you're going through. To make sure we're on the same page, I have a few clarifying questions. Are you attempting to view your emails through the Xfintiy Connect site or a 3rd part email client? Also, when you say load, are you able to receive the emails, just not open and review them?

I cannot view my emails through the Xfinity Connect site or a 3rd party email client on multiple devices and device types. This is not a me issue this is a you issue.

user_2zbs6b, I appreciate you clarifying what you're experiencing and adding the extra context. I would need to run through some targeted troubleshooting with you to help find a resolution. Are you able to confirm you're able to sign into the Xfinity website? Are you receiving any error codes or error messages when you attempt to view your emails?

I have not been able to connect to my Comcast email either today (5/29) for almost 8 hours.  The screen will say "we are now loading your email", but then it never loads and times out.  I have checked this on some of the websites that track website down issues and numerous people have reported this today, so it is not a "me" issue either.  It is impossible to get the worthless Xfinity chatbot to connect me to an actual human agent to report this.

I did that, but how will I know when you respond to my DM?

@redsox33   Thanks, we looked into it and see everything working perfectly with the email service. There are no reports of it being impacted or completely down. We're happy to see the DM's you sent confirm you're able to log in now, and we didn't touch the account or access it yet. For any one else having a concern with their email, make sure it is active first, and log into the Xfinity portal online to check your emails first. Follow the steps here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/email-activity-status as well to verify the status of your email account, and whether it's active or not. That will allow you to follow the right path on troubleshooting/accessing your emails on other devices.

I disagree with your characterization that everything was working perfectly and you didn't see anything wrong, since email was indeed down for over 8 hours, and then "miraculously" fixed itself.  However, it is now back to normal.

I don't know how to mark this with a green checkmark.

This was a Comcast issue. 501 http codes were received which eventually stopped after no further action taken from the customer. It ‘magically’ fixed itself after 8 hours. The comment from Comcast saying “everything working perfectly with the email service. There are no reports of it being impacted or completely down” is either not informed or intentionally misleading. Comcast you can and should do better.
