No you cannot, once you cancel service you will no longer have access.  The best thing to do now,

Ahead of time, is to set up email with a free email service, such as Gmail & notify all your contacts to use that new email address right away.  IF you have messages in Smartzone now, move them.  You can also export your Smartzone address book as a csv file (Preferences>Address Book>Export) so that you can then import your Contacts elsewhere.

So once your subscription is ended, do they freeze your account from access (allowing further email forwarding?) or do they just delete it entirely?

Is there a way to set up a forwarding service if a customer does plan on canceling their subscription?

[Queen-Evie]

Once the cancellation becomes effective the account is deleted and you lose your email address. Mail to the address after that point will not be delivered or forwarded.

The sender will receive a bounce notification telling him/her that the address is not a valid address. 

Please note that you will lose access to any Comcast page that requires you to sign in with a Comcast user name and password.

How do you export/import the address book to/from Smartzone?

[Barmar]

When your account is terminated, the account name will be put on hold for 90 days, to give you time to notify all your contacts before the name might be reassigned to another customer.

To import/export address book contacts, go to Preferences->Address Book.
