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!
Cancel 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!Email Transition - Lost Outlook Subfolders
Hey all, I transitioned to Yahoo today and established credentials and everything without a hitch. (I didn't use the password generation, FYI) The problem is I cannot see my many inbox subfolders in Outlook anymore. If I log in to Yahoo webmail they're there, but they're flat-out missing in Outlook. Does anyone know of the fix for this? TIA, Steve
Why does my CONTOUR UPDATE daily?
This is frustrating. I see no reason why the contour box should update every single day, each time it updates it freezes my contour box/TV. I have to reset everything. Is there something wrong with the box or is this normal? I should think an update once a week would be plenty.
Cox email switch to Yahoo disaster
I have spent the entire morning, plus 3 phone calls, re "EMAIL transition". I have Outlook Cox email needing transition to Yahoo. Online discussions/Reddit, etc. states Yahoo does not accept Outlook transition. I also see some customers after much time/effort were able to do this. Customer service could not complete transition to Yahoo from Outlook (rep did try with no success), but suggested for $10 mo for Cox Help they could help me. This is the LAST STRAW....I have been a customer of Cox for 30 years with many ups/downs.....however, this EMAIL TRANSITION is a disaster. I can now only access my email thru the Cox email web; Outlook email does not work at all. I will be changing all services including internet, cable, phone, email @ $235 monthly bill ASAP.
Panoramic WiFi app in continuous loop
I have seen a few other people with this issue with no resolution. We upgraded our plan and had a new router installed today, I was told by the installer the only way to change the network name is through the panoramic WiFi app, however it will not let me login. I have deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times all with the same result. When I click the login link, it takes me to the cox site to put in my credentials which I do. It then kick back to the app sign in screen to start the process all over. This is a continuous loop - has anyone found a solution for this or is there a different way to access my router settings?
two Cox emails - can get to only one thru Cox site
When I open Cox email in my browser it used to let me choose which email address to go to, especially to see incoming emails. Now it doesn't, it defaults to one of them. This is on my computer (Windows 10 capable). Luckily the one I can't see on the computer is the default one on my iPhone, but I'd like to be able to access both on my computer (bigger screen and able to use ten fingers).
Getting stuck adding account to Mobile app
Hello I am getting stuck trying to add my cox email back on to my new phone. It keeps looping with the "Re-enable sign in, since my screen lock changed" message over and over again, I unable to setup my cox email on my mobile phone. I do everything it asks for with the new screen lock security and Microsoft Authenticator app but it just keeps going in the same loop. Any help appreciated.Homelife app is gone?!?
Just got off of the phone with support about removing old cameras from the Homelife app. Despite spending hours on the issue with other techs before they assigned it to a higher level the answer is apparently that the app isn’t used anymore so just go ahead and ignore it. Just uninstall it. The web page to view the cameras is long gone. Now the SPECIFIC app is gone. So the only way to view the cameras is using the tv or the panoramic WiFi app. The panoramic app isn’t totally an admin app but it has the higher level functionality - FAR MORE than should be accessible just to look at the cameras. So now when my seven year old wants to see what the kitty cat is doing when he’s at daycare he’s going to be signing in with billing / main system user account (which will now have to use a simple password despite holding my credit card info) he can also go ahead and restart the gateway, play with port forwarding (which might be particularly enticing since it contains a list of game titles), etc. I must be misunderstanding something - is that the new procedure? And when I am looking through CURRENT support articles I see references and even screenshots of the app. And there are troubleshooting instructions that actually open the very app that is installed on my phone…
Homelife app crashes in live view mode
Has Cox ever fixed the issues with live view mode crashing the app on certain tablets and phones? When I try to go to live view mode in the app on my Lenovo tablet, the app crashes. Not a problem on my Samsung Galaxy phone or my old tablet. Only on my Lenovo. This has to be some kind of bug in the app that can be fixed.Homelife cameras and equipment all disabled
I now have the newer audio style camera for my Homelife. I can’t add it to Homelife. there is no problem with the wireless access, it shows on the network, has audio / video recording access on the tv and WiFi app. However I cannot add it to the Homelife app. The app still lists old cameras that aren’t even on the network anymore (not just disconnected) - they all show as Communication Failure on the main screen and are listed in disabled / greyed color in the Manage Devices and I can’t remove them. As you can see some even show up as OnlinePanoramic Wifi App No Longer Sending Alerts
I've got Panoramic Wifi Gateway and I use the Panoramic Gateway App to help manage my home network. The app was working fine until recently. Now it no longer sends alerts/push messages to let me know when a new device connects to my network. I've deleted and reinstalled the app. I have Advanced Security enabled. Am I missing a step to activate notifications?The Cox Wifi APP not working.
I just got a brand new router from cox which has three bands wifi. I don't know why my bands keep changed or not found at all which is annoy, but also when I open and log in to the cox wifi app, I try to change the names for the bands or closed one of the bands, keep said something went wrong. Now my house wifi only has one band which is 2.4ghz not 5ghz or 6ghz.
