Transition to Yahoo soon?
I am curious about how much longer the transition to Yahoo email will be. I haven’t received notification about my email going to Yahoo yet. Should I expect it to be soon? I have been checking my email at Cox Webmail and I haven’t received the email about the transition.44Views0likes0CommentsBad router port
Hi all, I have a Technicolor CGM4331 modem router. I use my own router so the modem/router is set to bridging mode. This set up has worked great and I don't have any complaints about Cox's internet service. Yesterday my internet connection started failing intermittently. I'd have internet for awhile and then I wouldn't. It finally stopped working altogether. I switched the internet connection to another port and everything has been working fine. The original connection was in the lower port over the power plug, I switched it to the upper port over the coax cable connector. Let's assume the port was bad and that my remedy was the correct fix: (1) Can I continue to use the Cox Modem/Router or (2) Is the bad port indicative of something that will affect the other ports? Thanks.18Views0likes0CommentsMigration to Yahoo
This is the worst experience ever!!! A definite FAIL!!!! I am unable to gain my emails in Outlook or iPhone. The only place to read my emails is on the Yahoo webpage. HORRIBLE. Dealing with all the ads is annoying. Cox, I recommend you cease this migration until all the bugs are worked out. Terrible customer service. Terrible email service. This was the reason I stopped my Yahoo email account.114Views1like0CommentsiPhone Mail and IMAP/POP3
You would think any email migration plan would have been designed to work seamlessly with the default Mail app on iPhones and iPads, but no. After generating a dedicated app password, I created an IMAP connection to the designated Yahoo IMAP server, but it just will not download messages between 6/25/20 and 4/24/24. Messages before 6/25/20 are there going back to 2009, and messages after 4/24/24 up to and including new ones are there; there's just a hole between the two dates. Removing the account and recreating it to force a new sync yields the same result. The messages appear properly in webmail. What gives? I even tried using POP3. It downloads a few thousand messages from current back to about 2018, then seems to get stuck in a perpetual download loop where it tries to grab the next 3000 messages, but fails a couple hundred messages in and starting over while deleting the messages that were successfully downloaded. I am wondering if there is some sort of download limit being imposed by Yahoo or Apple (possibly Cox).29Views0likes0CommentsFor MAC users with Outlook 365 that want to transition from COX to Yahoo email
Below are a set of repeatable instructions for the transition from COX.net to yahoo.com email MS OUTLOOK 365 migration on MacBook; open Outlook Outlook > settings > personal settings/accounts Click “+” to add account lower left corner Enter Email address username@cox.net Click Continue Select “not IMAP?” in upper right corner and select “Y! Yahoo” Select “Sync to the Microsoft Cloud” by pressing “Continue” Log into Yahoo with email account & regular password ( and prove you are not a robot) Click “Agree”, if you agree Add a verification option if requested by Yahoo Access for MS Outlook > agree Select profile in MS Outlook if asked It isn’t working until you get a grayed out “Microsoft Sync technology” under the email address in the “accounts” settings (not sure why) This has now worked repeatably for me with 9 Cox email accounts40Views0likes0Comments- 25Views0likes0Comments
Setting Up Cox/Yahoo Email on an iPhone
I tried several ways to get my new Cox/Yahoo aocount on my iPhone. Turns out it was very easy, but I haven't seen this solution anywhere. Delete the old Cox account under Settings -> Mail Add a new account Select Yahoo! It will ask you to sign in - use your old Cox email address as your username: jdoe@cox.net and then click next. It will then ask for your password - use the new password you created when you transitioned to Yahoo and then click next On the next screen, make sure "email" is on and then click "save" That should do it!247Views0likes0CommentsCox Email to Yahoo Android app
I was able to transition to Yahoo using my Windows computer's browser. I then wanted to add my cox.net email account to the Yahoo email app on my Pixel 8 Pro phone and was not successful. When adding an new email account to it I get options of Google, Outlook, AOl, Yahoo, Office 365 and Others. I tried Others and it would not work. I just tried Outlook and was told I have tried too many times with an incorrect account or password. I don't believe that to be the case. Can I use the Yahoo app on my phone? Is there another app I should use?43Views0likes0Comments
