Outages
What is going on with all these outages? In the last 30 days, we've had 2 multiple hour outages that have made it impossible for me to work. And now another one today?? We were out of service for 2 days last summer for an "upgrade" that was supposed to prevent the service interruptions, looks like that didn't work. I pay an obscene monthly bill to have such unreliable service. My supervisor is starting to question that there could seriously be such a terrible internet provider. Inevitable questions: Workplace security prevents me logging in on a hotspot. I work remotely for a California company, can't just run to the office.0Views0likes0CommentsFor 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 accounts3Views0likes0CommentsConnected devices not showing up on Cox wifi app or the Panoramic Gateway website
I'm trying to check the connection strength for my Samsung television because I'm having a problem with buffering and audio not syncing with a speaker's lips. The Cox wifi app shows many of my devices as unconnected to my wifi network even though they are connected. Similarly, under Connected Devices on the website for my Panoramic Gateway, many of my devices, such as my television, printers, and laptops, show as unconnected when they are in fact connected. Is there anything I can do to have these devices show as connected on the wifi app and the Gateway website? Thanks for your assistance.16Views0likes0CommentsUsing 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?25Views0likes0Comments- 19Views0likes0Comments
Yahoo 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!17Views1like0CommentsSetting 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!46Views0likes0CommentsCox 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?24Views0likes0CommentsE-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
