Can I get emails from another server forwarded to my outlook account?
I've had a comcast.net email account for centuries and the server is maxed out so I am no longer getting emails. I've deleted several thousand emails on that account and always a short time later I get "You have reached your quota,......"
So, if I open a new outlook email account, can I have all of my comcast.net emails addressed to me forwarded to the new outlook account?

Yeah, you can totally forward your Comcast emails to Outlook. Just log into your Comcast email settings, look for the forwarding option, and pop in your new Outlook address. Just make sure to keep deleting old stuff too, ‘cause forwarding won’t stop your Comcast inbox from filling up again.
Comcast email accounts are hosted on Xfinity. You can configure a forwarder via their web interface.
After confirming that the forwarding works, make sure you disable the option "Save a copy of forwarded emails" to prevent your Comcast mailbox from filling up.

This obviously creates a little risk in case the forwarded emails are being dropped for some reason in the future. Therefor, you may want to check whether forwarded emails are being moved to the Trash folder in Xfinity. If so, you could still recover them within 14 days.
