This thread is not "basic." I'm having random issues at work where "freemails" are just not making it to us and the comments here are teaching me much.
And, I have been working with email ever since Moby Dick was a minnow and stuff.
I have never had to work with Comcast, but what I do is call and tell the script reader that, "Yo... Bill said call here and tell you to escalate my problem." When they ask who Bill is, I just say, "Dunno, but I just spent 2 hours with him and he said call you and tell you it has to be escalated."
The banks are not the point of contact for the consumer... the retailer is. Banks AND retailers want the retailer to bear the cost so the retailer can pass it on to the consumer.
Consumers, in one form or another, will be responsible for breaches.

Want some real fun?
Google, "support number for (gmail, or hotmail, or yahoo)" and get scammed.
I use Hosted Exchange Service and mail is weird sometimes with "freemail."
My solution is to tell management to tell their buddies to use the email that their ISP gave them.
Hell, AOL doesn't even bother sending bounce notices. Smart move, actually, because bounce message are a sink that provides zero income.
Right here:
"Exposing" communications isn't illegal.

I'm sorry, but you guys and gals are missing it.
Customers don't have the control panel.
This is carrier-side.
