You heard correct. Cox outsourced then grandfathered email service several years ago. You are better off with a email service not tied to your ISP so you can switch without losing your email. Gmail, Yahoo, Proton are some good free options though Proton requires paid subscription for IMAP/SMTP access.

Thanks. After nearly forty years I was shocked. I just started sending outgoing through gmail. The oddest thing was how many tech support people I had to speak to find this out.

Most ISP have outsourced their email. Weird that Cox wouldn't know though. Maybe they aren't allowed to say.
