Hi Tim, at this time, we are not reporting any webmail outages or known issues with our Webmail server. Have you changed your password on the cox website, http://bit.ly/2KOrZnd, and ensured the password matches both the incoming and outgoing settings? If not, can you please change the password? Please also check to see if the server settings are correct, http://bit.ly/2KGsVKh, and that you are using TLS, if available. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator

I didn't change any of my settings (they were already correct), and all day today I was experiencing no delays or timeouts receiving E-mail via pop.cox.net.   I'm assuming whatever the issue was on the Cox end for most/all the past week has now been resolved - Hopefully for good.

    Hi Tim, to confirm, are you still experiencing issues with receiving emails on your client devices? As a troubleshooting step, we do recommend changing your password and ensuring this matches your incoming outgoing settings, and also ensuring the server settings are up-to-date. -Kevin M.
