How to Access Xfinity Email
You can access your Xfinity Email (Comcast email) account using any popular web browser on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
- Open your browser, head to the Xfinity Email login page.
- Enter your email, mobile, username, or Xfinity ID and password.
- Select the Account icon on the top right and choose Check Email.
To switch to a different Xfinity account, follow these steps:
- Select the Account icon and choose Billing or Account and Identity.
- Click the Account icon once more and pick Switch account.
- Choose the account and select Continue.
While Comcast once provided a mobile app for users to access their email accounts, that app has since been discontinued. Additionally, the current Xfinity app on Android and iPhone does not provide email access as of this writing.
📌 Tip: If you like viewing your messages on your smartphone (like most people!), check out Clean Email’s features and plans. It provides all of the same functionality as its web application in the mobile app, so you can manage your Comcast email accounts on the go!
How to Manage Xfinity Email Accounts
With Xfinity Email, you have access to a few features that can help you manage your mailbox. From cleaning up your inbox to organizing it, here are the basics.
View Your Available Storage
You can have up to seven Xfinity Email accounts and each one comes with 10 GB of storage space. It’s important to keep an eye on that available storage because if you surpass your limit and your mailbox is full, you may be unable to send or receive messages.
💡 Hint: Read on to learn how to efficiently manage and clean your Xfinity inbox with Clean Email.
To view your available storage, select the Gear icon on the top right. You’ll see an Email Usage meter at the bottom of the menu.
💡 Note: Starting on June 3, 2024, you cannot create new Xfinity Email accounts. However, you can still access and use your existing accounts as well as set up new users (without receiving email addresses).
Because you can no longer simply create a new Comcast email if your current account exceeds the storage quota, it’s time to clean up your existing inbox! With Clean Email’s automation features, users don’t need to create multiple accounts just to get more storage, reducing the hassle of managing them all.
Enable Spam Filtering
One way to keep your inbox neat and tidy is by ridding it of spam. You can have Xfinity automatically detect junk mail and move it to the Spam folder.
- Select the Gear icon on the top right and choose Email Settings.
- In the left-hand menu, pick Advanced Settings.
- Pick the first option to Automatically move spam and potentially harmful messages to the Spam folder.
Moving forward, messages identified as junk are moved to the Spam folder and then automatically deleted after seven days.
📌 Tip: To manually move messages to the Spam folder, click the Mark as Spam button.
Empty the Trash
One thing many people don’t think about is emptying their Trash folder. But emails you delete remain in this spot and can consume storage space unnecessarily.
On the Mail tab, select the Menu icon to the right of the Trash and pick Empty Trash.
You can recover messages in the Trash for 30 days before they’re permanently removed.
Create Folders
Once you perform a cleanup of your inbox, you may want to organize the messages that remain. Like other popular email services, Xfinity lets you create folders to house your communications for better mailbox management.
- Go to the Mail tab.
- Select the Menu icon (three lines) to the right of your Inbox and choose Add new folder.
- Give your folder a name and click Add.
You’ll then see your new folder below the Inbox in the left-hand menu.
Use the Move icon at the top or drag-and-drop to move a message to a folder.
Set Up Inbox Filters
For messages that you regularly move, flag, or mark, you can set up email filters for your inbox. Xfinity then automatically performs actions on incoming messages for you.
- Select the Gear icon and choose Email Settings.
- Choose Filter Rules on the left and pick Add new rule.
- Enter a Rule name.
- Select Add condition and enter the criteria.
- Choose Contains, pick the parameter, and enter the value.
- Select Add action and pick the action.
- Choose Save.
📌 Tip: Using Auto Clean in Clean Email, you can accelerate the filter setup process. For instance, you can set up a rule for a sender right from your inbox in just three steps. And not only can you do the basics like move, delete, or mark, but you can also archive, keep only the newest emails, or move messages to the Read Later folder.
How to Manage Xfinity Email With Clean Email
While Xfinity does offer a decent feature set for cleaning and organizing your mailbox, it’s still limited in its options. Enter Clean Email, a robust mailbox management tool that works with all IMAP accounts.
You can connect up to 10 email accounts, and enjoy a powerful set of features for both cleanup and organization.
The best part is that you can manage these accounts on the web, desktop, or mobile devices (both Android and iOS).
We can’t list every Clean Email feature here today, but we can show you a few favorites you’ll love—let’s take a look!
Unsubscribe from mailing lists
Not all unwanted messages are considered junk. For instance, if you sign up for a newsletter to receive a discount on a product, then you’ve subscribed to a mailing list and may receive marketing communications from the company.
Rather than mark messages like this as spam, use the Unsubscriber feature. With it, Clean Email notifies the sender to remove you from their list and directs all future messages to Trash in case the sender ignores the unsubscribe request.
Best of all, you can use Unsubscriber to unsubscribe from many messages at one time! Plus, you can resubscribe later if you change your mind or pause a subscription temporarily.
Screen unknown senders
Like Xfinity, Clean Email provides a Spam folder and method for marking junk manually if necessary. But what you won’t find with other services is a feature that holds onto messages from unknown senders until you decide if you want them or not.
That’s right—Screener does exactly that!
You simply head to Screener in the menu to review those messages from unidentified people. You can then block, unsubscribe, or allow the messages, all from a single spot.
Get Cleaning Suggestions
Not sure of the best ways to tidy up your mailbox? With the Cleaning Suggestions, wonder no more.
This handy section of your mailbox provides recommendations based on your previous actions and those most popular with other users. You can then act on a group of messages with a single click. For example, send mass messages to the Trash or move older ones to the Archive.
Cleaning Suggestions not only help you clean your inbox but do the work for you.
Get Started With Clean Email
As mentioned, you can manage multiple accounts in one spot for Xfinity as well as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, and others with Clean Email. You can easily switch between accounts and use the cleanup tools described above, plus many more!
Depending on the number of accounts you want to use, there’s an affordable Clean Email plan for you. And remember, all features work the same way on each device including mobile.
