I have not checked my emails for a month or so. When I tried to log in today, I was not even sure I logged in. Is there a tutorial to how this new system works?
What happened to my old emails?

Did you sign in from the new Comcast homepage? There is a large yellow box on the right side of the homepage where the sign in AND e-Mail icon is located. First sign in... then from the homepage click on
E-Mail which will take you to Smartzone. Click on the Inbox for your e-mail. You might also want to check your Preferences for e-mail by going to Preferences> E-Mail and look at the E-Mail Deletion Schedule and make any changes you want to make. Remember to click on save when you are done making any changes. Here is the link to the Smartzone Tutorial.
The links to the Tutorials are in the sticky at the top of this Forum entitled FAQ's and a second sticky below it, called HOW TO also contains information as well.

SmartZone is the new web-based e-mail application for Comcast e-mails. It's been fully deployed for a couple of months.
You can either use it or you can install and configure an e-mail client (like Thunderbird, Eudora, etc) to read and write e-mails.
The old "Webmail" e-mail application is gone forever and there is no getting it back.

The simplest way for you to check or send e-mail is to save this link in your Favorites or right on your desktop and create a short-cut with the link. When you click on the link it will bring up the green box for you to sign in with your user name (without the @comcast.net part) and type in your password.
Once you sign in you will go directly to E-Mail (now called Smartzone)
Here is the E-Mail link: http://www.comcast.net/qry/goto?app=mail
Here is a link to the Smartzone Tutorial will has questions and answers to everything about Smartzone:

Here is a link to the Smartzone Tutorial will has questions and answers to everything about Smartzone:
Well, not quite everything. Under Managing Multiple Email Accounts, the first question is
It briefly explains how to add an existing Comcast account via Preferences > Email Manager, but it fails to mention that this is just a workaround, that the full functionality isn't available, and what the limitations are.
Then under Troubleshooting, the first question is
The answer reads in its entirety:
Currently, access to other Comcast.net accounts from one SmartZone login is not supported. To access a different Comcast.net account, sign out of the SmartZone Communications Center and then sign back in with the username from the other account.
Please continue to check back to find out when this feature will be available.
This of course contradicts the answer given in the Managing Multiple Email Accounts section. If I hadn't been hanging out on the forums all these months I would be massively confused by this.
Also, "Please continue to check back"??? As I've said before, Comcast apparently drastically underestimated how ticked off users would be to lose this feature and put it below "rearrange home page to confuse existing users" on their priority list. Here in the forums, when customers first started getting SZ the functionality was said to be coming back "soon," then "within the next few months," and recently "by the end of the summer." How about a date? Or at least a month? And it should be in the FAQ, not just here on the forums: I'd be willing to bet at least 80 percent of customers don't even know the forums exist.

From what I am hearing now, it's going to be in the September/October time frame, but as you know, dates can always slip. Depends what turns up during Beta testing of the functionality.
