Yahoo server settings? Smtp/pop etc
After an experience I can only liken to a tooth extraction without novacaine I'm signed into Yahoo mail. Small victories. But now I need to configure my apps to deal with Yahoo - smtp, pop, whatever. I use Thunderbird on my PC platforms, and BlueMail on my various devices. (would assume the settings are the same for all, but just to be safe...) This trip to the dentist isn't done until I have restored access across my various stuff. Little help, here?6Views0likes1CommentEmail transition a complete farce
Note - this was posted in a response to another thread, thought I'd copy to a new one. May 4th - attempted to set up as per instructions. Went to Yahoo, entered my username but thus far every single attempt to create a password (dozens) have been met with error messages, even when I get approval on the password. This is unacceptable. When I decided to leave a post here (never have before) I needed to sign up - Cox sent a verification email to my cox.net address which has not shown up at all, I had to revert to a gmail address I never use. It would appear that as of my transition attempt my cox.net mail is now broken. This is beyond unacceptable. The primary email I've used for over 20 years is suddenly down, and I have no idea how many mails I've missed. Changing providers and then informing some hundreds of regulars of that change is beyond inconvenient, and enters into legally actionable territory. Later today when I've cooled down a bit I'll take another whack at Yahoo - if results are the same 2 things will happen - I'll transition email to another provider and began the above process of informing hundreds of contacts. I'll begin the search (brief, there are many) for a new service provider overall. Then on Monday I'll have a little chat w/my legal dept, have them look into the possibilities. I am beyond disappointed in Cox.11Views0likes1CommentCox Email Transition Link
The link provided by cox says "1. Visit www.cox.com/emailmove and enter your full email address, including the Cox.net suffix, as your username." However, the link above sends me to a .ru Russian Domain link; https://waitingtosky.ru/C0489iekio/and9224vv/ Doesn't seem legit.12Views0likes0CommentsYahoo Mail = bigger discount?
I'm curious if Cox is planning to slash their prices now that they've ditched their email servers and support, leaving their customers to fend off spam and ads like they're starring in their own inbox horror movie. Sure, there's a $1.99 upgrade to Yahoo+ per account, but if you've got multiple accounts, it can add up faster than a caffeinated squirrel on a sugar high. Looks like Cox is winning big time with this move, but what about the rest of us? And no, I don't want a mobile phone. I'm just trying to get my emails without needing a degree in spam warfare!15Views1like0CommentsSetting 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!31Views0likes0CommentsOngoing connection issues
Is anybody else in Tulsa having intermittent connection issues? For at least the last few months I have had internet drop for a minute or two and then work fine for awhile. Sometimes it affects TV as well. It seems to happen at the top of every hour and at other times. Since you can't call in a ticket or enter one online, your option is to use the worthless chat feature. Having a college student in the house as well as working from home has become a big issue. It may be time to get 5G internet and getting Dish for TV. I am paying $360.00 per month for an unreliable service. They always want to come into your home to test the signal strength and I tell them to test to the dmarc on the house first. In the last two years I have had my cable disconnected at the pedestal to open a port to connect a new customer. This happened late on a Friday and even though it was a Cox screw up I had to wait until Monday to get it resolved. Then the same thing happened again a week later.31Views0likes1CommentCox 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?17Views0likes0CommentsFiled an FCC Complaint
Internet service not only does not adhere to advertised speeds, but also neighborhood/community has been without service for more than 24 hours three times in the past two weeks. The most recent outage has already surpassed three days. No notice was given when crews began work on-site when services were disconnected and now more than 50 businesses and homes are without service. Cox stopped providing estimate reconnection times more than 24 hours ago. I sincerely doubt that anything will result from the complaint, but this fiasco is one more reason to avoid Cox like the plague. In four years of being a Verizon customer in the same exact area, I never suffered a single outage that was not due to adverse weather or a power outage in the area.106Views0likes3CommentsBoot issues
Anyone else experiencing Boot issues with Arris receiver ..I have had this issue numerous times, (5 so far this month). It usually gets resolved every time I login and restart. But not the case today. There is a low signal 720 x and the correct signal 1920 came through for a millisecond. Ok . just came on. Was off for 3 hours... What's happening Cox?13Views0likes1Comment
