Re: Why wont email work with VPN?
Everyone makes some unfounded assumptions. I do NOT need private email, my VPN is NOT routed through an overseas provider, in fact the company is based overseas but uses servers based in the US. The bandwidth through my VPN is NOT limited (I get my rated speeds whether or not I am on the VPN), I HAVE logged in through myemail.cox while on the VPN and it does work. Even my banks and investment sites have no issues with my using a VPN while on their sites. The ONLY issue is when sending mail and the client never gets a response back from Cox saying the sent mail has been moved to my sent folder (imap account) which also means the email did not actually get sent, yes I have tested this and the email is NOT sent. I use a VPN as much for privacy as to thumb my nose at the FCC negating net neutrality as anything as well as Cox for being a poor provider of email services. So basically I use a VPN because I want to, not because I have secrets to hide. And if you think you don't need a VPN, you might want to investigate why all the PC/MAC sites are recommending folks use a VPN in their daily internet browsing. Lastly, I have spent the last year turning off the VPN while using email but every so often I test Cox's response while on the VPN. This thread was posted because there are still issues especially while sending mail. Yes I can turn off the VPN while using email and usually do because of the issues but that doesn't mean I shouldn't post about continuous ongoing issues. In all honesty, this isn't a huge issue, but it exists. Thanks to all that responded. Warren14Views0likes0CommentsRe: This is feed back
Here is more feedback, today 12 April 2018, it takes about 15-20 secs for my email client to login. It does finally login and get my email, SLOWLY!!! But as you can tell, Cox is still having issue with their email servers. I am no expert, but I can see the problems occurring. PLEASE get somebody in charge that knows email and servers and logins and imap, and etc etc etc. Cox is probably now the WORST email service I have had in 25+ years. So, whatever you did last night only slowed down everything. While I can appreciate how difficult this has to be, You get paid a LOT of money to give us good service. I don't feel like i am getting my monies worth. Warren0Views0likes0CommentsRe: This is feed back

Thanks for a reply. Luckily, at the times you gave, I will be sawing logs so I probably won't see any disruption. 🙂 I'm sure I would speak for many others when I say any improvement in the mail service would be greatly appreciated. The last couple of months haven't been kind to Cox going by the comments here on Cox's own forum. Warren0Views0likes0CommentsRe: This is feed back
In case you thought I had forgotten, the issue has not improved. I hope your technical staff is reading these forums and realize that they have a lot of work to do to get Cox email back to a reliable product. I am now starting to shift critical emails to gmail.

Re: Pixelation on HD channels.
Sigh, go back and read my initial post again. SMH And both the DVR and the mini box's show this. Keep in mind this is not a constant thing. For the most part, the majority of the channels are okay which should tell you the boxes are not the issue. It's the signal. It is possible that the individual channels are sending a poor signal and I can accept that. But if folks don't report the issues they are having, then how else can we get the issues to you and/or the networks that are having the issues?1View0likes0Comments- 1View0likes0Comments
