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.11Views0likes0CommentsCox lowered upload from 100gig to 35gig in Portsmouth VA?
I am located in Portsmouth, Virginia, for the past year, since March 2nd of 2023, Cox upgraded all our internet to 1000 gig download and 100 gig upload; I am an international streamer and have been streaming online for five years now, and I was so happy that Cox was upgrading us to 100gig upload. Now, the problem! Just recently, I logged into my account this month, May 5th, 2024, and low and behold, they changed my plan without notification (Without sending an email or text) that they downgraded me to 35 gigabytes. I called Tech, and they were closed after hours. Then, I used their online texting service and reached someone overseas who could only read what I see now on my account and not what I had in the past. So, pretty much, I was talking to the wall! Has anyone else noticed their upload speeds drop? I have 7 wifi security cameras around the house, 8 wifi lightbulbs, 2 Wifi Wyze robot vacs (I test for Wyze), Pretty much all Wifi computerized house and most of my cameras are pet cams because I do TNR (Catch feral cats), watching the food bowl at what times the feral cats come around. Wyze cameras are cheap, around $20 a piece, and their monthly service is only $3, which helps to cut costs down for a disabled veteran like myself. I don't have TV service and only watch streaming TV through the internet, which Tmobile Military provides Netflix at a discount or free. The only high cost is COX, and I wish they wouldn't charge me $100 plus dollars for internet, but I need that high speed for streaming. Now they just cut the upload and didn't even cut my bill. Upload is critical for a multi-video chat stream while doing a professional video game presentation from home.26Views0likes1CommentOutages
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.27Views0likes1CommentFor 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 accounts15Views0likes0CommentsCompetitive pricing and high-speed offering
Hello Cox Community, I am a resident of Gainesville, Florida, and I’ve noticed that Pavlov Media is offering a 1 Gbps fiber internet service for $69. This has caught my attention and likely that of other community members due to its competitive pricing and high-speed offering. Given this development, I am curious to know if Cox Cable has any plans to offer similar or competitive pricing and speed upgrades for our area. Many of us are interested in understanding whether Cox is looking to enhance its service to match or exceed the value proposition presented by Pavlov Media. It would be great to get some insights into any upcoming plans that might benefit customers in our region who are seeking faster internet speeds at a reasonable price point. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Daniel S34Views0likes2Comments
