error message "there was a problem connecting to pop.mail.yahoo.com".
I'm trying to add my new Yahoo email account to my Gmail email account and I keep getting this error: "there was a problem connecting to pop.mail.yahoo.com". I've checked my cox email address and my Yahoo password and scanned a number of online documents but I cannot find a solution. Any help would be appreciated99Views0likes7CommentsFiled 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.5Views0likes0CommentsBoot 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?3Views0likes0CommentsEmail transition forced upon us, is subjecting me to uninvited ads on the Yahoo mail app!
This email transition has opened the door for ads from Yahoo. The only way to stop them is to subscribe to Yahoo +, that has an additional cost. After being a customer for more than 20 years, I'll be looking at other options for internet providers.219Views2likes11CommentsCox sporadic internet service.
I quit cox tv, and went with a steaming service,(roku), or online with my computer, or ota signals. Recently I,(stupidly), followed cox advice, and got a cox modem, to replace the modem and router. Now I spend several minutes everyday trying to get the roku to connect with the cox modem/router. When I explained the problem to cox, I was told that the best plan, was to buy a NEW CABLE TV PLAN FROM COX, and that it would only be an additional $72.00 a month. When I informed the representative, that the issue DID NOT START UNTIL AFTER I STARTED USING COX EQUIPMENT, the representative suggested a new internet plan, and an additional cable tv plan, that would only raise my monthly by $120.00.47Views1like2CommentsCox email transition - has anyone completed the transition to Yahoo
Has anyone completed the email transition to Yahoo? It would be appreciated if any Cox customer would answer this question. I have been trying to get some information about when; and all I receive from Cox is we don’t know. In my opinion this response is unbelievable - a significant customer service change and the company’s help response team can’t provide an answer is unbelievable - implies a lack of transparency or worst. So that’s why I am calling out to any Cox customer and provide some feedback about the “actual” transition. I and many of us have received the preliminary emails about the future. Has anyone's completed the transition?6.2KViews2likes61CommentsBe pretty sweet to get notifications of upcoming maintenance.
Doesn’t seem like it would be to hard to email the customers within the effected area, a simple “hey your internet might go out as we are doing maintenance / upgrades in the area”. It gets very frustrating when you are doing something very important and bam the internet is out for the next 4-6 hours without any sort of notice.16Views0likes1CommentCancel Peacock Premium using Contour DVR
Hello, Trying to cancel Peacock subscription that was signed up via Cox Contour DVR. The published instructions do not apply to my set up. No tile or app titled "Manage My Subscriptions" exists, as outlined in the Cox KB article: https://www.cox.com/residential/support/canceling-streaming-subscription-service.html#:~:text=Using%20the%20arrow%20buttons%2C%20highlight,to%20cancel%2C%20then%20press%20OK.&text=3-,Using%20the%20arrow%20buttons%2C%20highlight,My%20Subscriptions%2C%20then%20press%20OK.&text=Using%20the%20arrow%20buttons%2C%20highlight%20Unsubscribe%2C%20then%20press%20OK. I have Complete Care, so I can try to arrange a tech to the home to navigate the menus for me, as I am elderly, but hoping for another set of eyes from another Community Member to help me here on where to navigate on the Contour Remote and DVR. Thanks!Solved31Views0likes4CommentsNot getting all email
I was able to set up the Yahoo account. But while I am getting some emails, I am definitely not getting all emails. I checked and they are not in the spam folder or trash folder, and I have no filters or blocked address on Yahoo that could be causing the problem. In other words, while Yahoo is getting some of the emails sent to myadress@cox.net not all of them are getting to Yahoo. I definitely know that these emails were sent and the people sending them had my correct email address, but they are not all getting through to Yahoo for some reason. For example I got the email sent to me to complete my registration to this forum others have not even got to Yahoo and are not there in my Inbox, Trash, or Spam folder. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?351Views1like14Comments- 14Views0likes1Comment
