Comcast.net users are bestowed with a myriad of services including creating an email signature, editing an email signature, changing your color theme, changing your display name, adding an external email account, making a group contact list, creating personal folders, and changing your Xfinity connect view.

The following steps will ensure that the forwarded messages are being sent in the correct format.

• Go to ‘Settings’ in your email account and choose the ‘Mail’ option

How Can I Set up Auto-Reply Messages? 

Apart from auto-forwarding emails, you can also set up auto-reply messages for your clients and colleagues. This auto-reply comes in handy when you are going to be away from your system (mail). When you go on a business trip or a vacation with the family, you can think of creating an auto-reply message for a particular period. When someone sends you a message, he or she will immediately receive a response to their emails. This also helps people not to be worried about you in your absence. Check out the following steps:

• Click the ‘Gear’ icon (located on the top right of the navigation bar in Xfinity Connect).
• You can then click ‘Settings’
• Go to ‘Mail’ > ‘Auto Reply’
• Enter the message you want and click ‘Save’
