How to Use Cox e-mail Transitioned to Yahoo via Outlook ...
Just learned the details on how to do this - the instructions in e-mails we are getting are insufficient. Setting up yahoo account via link will only get you to the browser-based e-mail platform. This is required as the first step. Once this step is done, use these setting to set up Yahoo server in Outlook: POP access settings and instructions for Yahoo Mail | Yahoo Help - SLN4724 Old passwords will work using web-based Yahoo platform, but they will not work using outlook! New password is required to link Yahoo platform with Outlook - this is done this way: Open Yahoo page, and under Top Right-side point to You name letter next to e-mail icon and select Account - Overview Select Security - top 3rd from the left side. In the middle on the right side select: Generate and manage app passwords. Under App name enter Outlook. Yahoo will generate loooong password - Copy save it, as this will be the only time you will see it!! Paste this new password to Server Settings inside Outlook. This will link the outlook with Yahoo ... I hope this helps - it took me one hour with designated Yahoo help for Cox transition - 1-866-562-7250 Thyer are very knowledgeable and patient!292Views1like4CommentsAddress exclusive promotion. Need help.
Got an ad from cox for 1gig fiber internet including unlimited data and panoramic WiFi for $50 a month for 24 months when you have cox mobile. Cox system won’t pull up the special price and 4 cox reps I talked to don’t help me at all because the system won’t show that price how the heck do I get some real help and get the promotion applied. Is there a special department these employees don’t know about or something how can they not have knowledge to help me I sent them pictures still no help. Anyone know who to talk to?14Views0likes1CommentI'm not getting all of my email since Yahoo switch....does anyone think it will get better?
I have been randomly not receiving email since the switch to Yahoo(I access email direct through a browser). Some email comes through....some(even email I bcc myself on from a gmail account) don't. There is no issue with blocked addresses, or any other setting....verified by Yahoo tech support. Consulted with Yahoo support and they say it's not their issue. Do any of you tech savy people think this situation will get better? I started switching some of my email accounts to gmail....the most important business ones. But what a pain this is.69Views0likes2CommentsNot receiving verification code emails new Yahoo mail
After transitioning to yahoo mail, Social security.gov verification emails are not received on the web nor my desktop app. Yahoo tech blamed the government, while I think the SSA probably could tell the .cox was funneled into a yahoo or something. It also happened I didn't receive an employers verification code, so not a single sender. It was all smooth when it was only cox.net. Any help figuring this out would be great, I have seen other threads on the web about this exact issue but no resolution yet.4Views0likes0CommentsTurning off Two-Step Verification
Due to a weird set of circumstances I had to go to the local Cox store to regain access to my account online and, of course, my email. This was a lot of trouble and took quite some time but I eventually got everything back. Everything is essentially back to what it was... except for one thing: I would now get a prompt telling me to check my email for a code that I have to enter to complete the online log-in. This may be safer but I didn't have to do this before, and I really don't want the feature at this time. I got hold of a tech over the phone and explained the problem The tech then did something which turned off the Two-Step process for the main browser I use on my desktop computer to access my Cox account. The problem is that this apparently works on only one browser I use (in this case, Chrome). Other browsers, if I try to log in to my Cox account, still cause the Two-Step process to take place. What I'd like to know is how to turn the Two-Step off for at least one other browser. I haven't the faintest idea how the tech did this but she seemed to indicate I could do it myself. Any relevant information would be appreciated. Thanks.50Views0likes4CommentsCancel 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!21Views0likes3Commentsinternet connection

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?5.3KViews2likes56Comments
