COX to Yahoo
I am confused if I have to do anything at my end for this change.
I have my COX account also forwarding emails to my gmail account. Will
this continue to happen?

Hi, Ken. Although I cannot confirm this, you may have to re-enable email forwarding after the transition. All currently available information can be found at https://www.cox.com/emailmove but at this time we don't have any dates confirmed. Customers will begin receiving email communications 60 days prior to migration. I hope this helps.

This sounds like Yahoo will charge to forward mail to another email account.
This was free with COX. Can you tell me if COX has arranged with Yahoo
to offer this for free? Much of this is confusing

I do understand the confusion, Ken. Although I do not have a definitive answer for you, I can tell you that some features of mail are available for a fee from Yahoo. You can also set up a forward in most email clients. Here's the instructions for Outlook: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/turn-on-automatic-forwarding-in-outlook-7f2670a1-7fff-4475-8a3c-5822d63b0c8e. I hope this helps.
I don't use Outlook and what I currently have been doing is forwarding all my COX mail
to GMAIL. This required me to configure the COX webmail to forward the mail
then tell the COX mail where to forward it. From my reading it appears Yahoo will
forward mail but I believe they will charge you for it which is another disappointment
going with Yahoo.
Example: if I understand what's suppose to happen. Someone sends me an email to xxx@cox.com
That will now go to Yahoo mail server. I don't care for Yahoo and I would like the Yahoo server to forward it to GMAIL. If I understand what I have read and I am hope I am wrong, Yahoo wants to charge to forward any mail going to Yahoo to another mail provider.
Disappointed,
Ken
