iPhone Mail and IMAP/POP3
You would think any email migration plan would have been designed to work seamlessly with the default Mail app on iPhones and iPads, but no. After generating a dedicated app password, I created an IMAP connection to the designated Yahoo IMAP server, but it just will not download messages between 6/25/20 and 4/24/24. Messages before 6/25/20 are there going back to 2009, and messages after 4/24/24 up to and including new ones are there; there's just a hole between the two dates. Removing the account and recreating it to force a new sync yields the same result. The messages appear properly in webmail. What gives? I even tried using POP3. It downloads a few thousand messages from current back to about 2018, then seems to get stuck in a perpetual download loop where it tries to grab the next 3000 messages, but fails a couple hundred messages in and starting over while deleting the messages that were successfully downloaded. I am wondering if there is some sort of download limit being imposed by Yahoo or Apple (possibly Cox).5Views0likes0CommentsHelp with Yahoo and Outlook Transition
I began the move to yahoo on Thursday. I use Outlook as my primary place for looking at my emails and I have a business email address directed there via my Cox email address so I can those messages and they stay separate from my personal emails. All of my emails transferred to Yahoo, except those associated with my business email address. Outlook, after setting up the servers is only getting my main email address and folders to show up but I have over 3200 emails that are not transferring onto Outlook from Yahoo. My business email address and related folders and emails is no longer there. I spent time on phone with Yahoo and Microsoft but to date both companies just want to blame the other for fact that all of my emails are not showing up in Outlook. Can anyone help me with this issue? The transition gets a big fat "F" in my evaluation. To top it off, if you call into Cox, their system rolls the technical questions about emails over to Yahoo. So I'm still missing my emails after four plus days of trying to resolve this. I've been a customer of Cox for over 20 years. What a way to treat loyal customers.11Views0likes0CommentsFor MAC users with Outlook 365 that want to transition from COX to Yahoo email
Below are a set of repeatable instructions for the transition from COX.net to yahoo.com email MS OUTLOOK 365 migration on MacBook; open Outlook Outlook > settings > personal settings/accounts Click “+” to add account lower left corner Enter Email address username@cox.net Click Continue Select “not IMAP?” in upper right corner and select “Y! Yahoo” Select “Sync to the Microsoft Cloud” by pressing “Continue” Log into Yahoo with email account & regular password ( and prove you are not a robot) Click “Agree”, if you agree Add a verification option if requested by Yahoo Access for MS Outlook > agree Select profile in MS Outlook if asked It isn’t working until you get a grayed out “Microsoft Sync technology” under the email address in the “accounts” settings (not sure why) This has now worked repeatably for me with 9 Cox email accounts15Views0likes0CommentsUsing Yahoo Email on iMac Double Emails On Old Emails
I was able to set up Yahoo emails on my iMac mail icon. After everything download onto my iMac mail my messages have doubled. Looking at my emails before I did it are showing a number 2 next to them. When I click on the 2> two of the same emails drops down. When I click on one of them and hit delete to go to trash both disappear leaving one in my inbox. The thing is that email is now blank. I go into trash and add back to inbox. The message appears again but the 2> come back. I now have over 1,000 messages which should only be 500. Has anyone figured out what to do to get messages back to normal?28Views0likes0Comments- 23Views0likes0Comments
Setting 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!64Views0likes0CommentsCox 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?30Views0likes0CommentsE-mail Transition Failure
Since my e-mail has transitioned to Yahoo, I am losing e-mails. E-mails that I have been getting forever are no longer getting delivered, or very sporadic. See below for examples of e-mail concerns. E-mails from Amazon when placing orders; sometimes they get to me, but most of the time not being delivered E-mails from Generac when the generator operates; same as above for Amazon E-mails from friends; one friend sent me an e-mail 5 times before it was ever delivered I try to call Yahoo and all I get is a recording saying there is an extremely long wait an to try calling at a different time. It does let you hang on, but I final gave up after 2 hours. This is totally ridiculous.34Views0likes0Comments
