Updated On - July 30, 2024 by Prakriti | Reading Time: 4 minutes

Case: Enrique, a mid-scaled IT entrepreneur running a company with a team of 37 members, contacted us to professionalize Comcast emails migration. With the planning to expand the team, manage the emails, and upgrade other official work online, the team was moving to Office 365. However, a few email accounts without the company domain need to migrate to Gmail. Enrique had both tasks: Migrate Comcast emails to Gmail and Microsoft 365. Enrique also tried migrating using manual methods but failed. Read this write-up to know how this migration task was executed and how Regain Software helped Enrique and the team with the Comcast email migration.

Let’s Know What Comcast is and Why Users Are Migrating from It:

Don’t confuse b/w Comcast and Xfinity; the first one is the former name of the second one.  However, Comcast is more well-known in the USA for telecommunication and broadcasting. Let’s explore why users deviate from the Comcast/Xfinity email service.

• Comcast has been criticized a lot for the poor support service. Many users have rated customer support service standards with very low ratings.
• Comcast email users have reported a common issue with logging in, which has a negative impact.
  On the other hand, products like Gmail and Office 365 come with robust features and advanced technologies that are user-centric.
• Similarly, Office 365, being a product of Microsoft, guarantees security and customer support with high priority. For business, a single subscription to Office 365 opens the gate for multiple services/applications.
• With Office 365 and Gmail, users can avail of multiple functions and add-ins. Moreover, Gmail account offers Google Drive, Spreadsheet, Calendar, Meets, Docs, and many more.

Manual Way to Migrate Comcast Emails to Gmail

The manual method is an error-prone and prolonged method. Professionals don’t prefer using the manual method as it is complicated and unsecured. Enrique, whose case is the base of this write-up, also tried this, but he failed and left trying. Let’s know the steps to migrate:

1. Firstly, login to Gmail.
2. From the gear icon, Settings>>See All Settings.
3. Select the “Account and Import” tab, and underneath, choose “Import Mail and Contacts.”
4. Here, you have to enter the Comcast email address and click on Continue.
5. Now, open your Comcast account and authenticate the request to add Comcast to Gmail.
6. Accept the terms after authenticating.

So, this was a blueprint to migrate Comcast emails to the Gmail account. These steps look straight, but they are not as straight as they look. Professionals may face many issues with this process. Moreover, it is very time-consuming and has only limited features. You can’t migrate folders using this manual method.
