Email transition from Cox
After receiving the Yahoo email and without accepting their terms & conditions, may I still download & remove my data from the Cox pop server via an email client like Outlook? If so, can you please ...

Skip1,
You are correct. Once your emails are transitioned to Yahoo, you no longer have access to Cox Web Mail servers.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during the transition,

I didn't accept the Yahoo terms, so my emails were not transitioned. All I want to do now is cancel my former email address so that if someone attempts to send mail to it, they'll receive a bounce-back notification.
It seems that after receiving the email from Yahoo, and if you DON'T accept their terms, you are locked out of your account via the webmail interface. However, you can still access emails already received via an email client like Outlook or through migration tools to another provider.
Not sure what happens to emails received in the interim (i.e., after account is locked, but before it is cancelled).
