older Android tablet (2.3.something) email app

The email app that came with my Android tablet won't connect.  I followed the instructions elsewhere on this site but still can't connect.  I know not every app will connect to every email service.  Perhaps that's my real problem.  Assuming it is, what email app can anyone recommend that will allow me to use my cox.net email.  I do NOT want to just use the browser, I want an IMAP compatible app so that I can use email regardless of whether I have a wifi connection or not.  I sometimes work through  emails offline and then sync when I get a wifi connection.  Can't do that with the browser...  Suggestions?

Which email app are you trying to run? And what device do you have?

viewsonic G tab.  It comes stock with droid 2.2, so woefully out of date.  Ive loaded three different ROMs (2.3.x and 3.0.1.  No easy 4.x options) and tried using the built-in email apps with each and the K-9 app which I've used before on this and other tablets (and is recommended as "plan B" in this forum).  I can't get any to connect.  Depending upon attempted config settings, the messages are either "can't connect to the server" or "password/ID incorrect".  I know my password/ID are correct because I log into browser-based email several times a day from my laptop AND the tablet.

Could be a issue with PoP/IMAP access. First try resetting your password to something you have never used before. I know this sounds like a BS answer, but there's a reason for it. Also, try setting up a client on a PC/other device with the same user/password?
