Setting up Comcast Email on Gmail

You cannot directly add your Comcast email account to your Gmail through its website, as you can do in its apps (steps described above). Rather, you can add your comcast.net email to your Gmail account, which will fetch emails from your Comcast account, and display them in your Gmail account.

Here’s how you can do this:

First off, open your browser and sign into your Gmail account to which you want to add your Xfinity Comcast email account.

Now, click on the settings icon present in the top right corner of the screen, and from the right-side panel that will open, click on the See All Settings option.

After that, the Gmail Settings page will open. There, switch to the Accounts and Imports tab.

In the Check Mail From Other Accounts section of the opened tab, click on the Add a Mail Account option.

On the window that will appear, enter your Comcast email address in the given field and click on the Next button.

Next, select the Link Accounts With Gmailify option, and click on the Next button.

Tip: Linking your Xfinity Comcast and Gmail accounts using Gmailify is a lot easier than selecting the other option (Import emails from my other account (POP3)), in which you will have to manually configure Comcast email settings. To know more about Gmailify, you can visit the Google Support page.
