Why is COX junk?
Cox is got to be the most AWFUL user unfriendly email I've ever encountered. It will not even let one send (5) photos and then not let you know they have not gone through. This thing is also like being in a cave with a dim flashlight... The cost is unreal for what you get. WHAT A SCREWING!!!
When I can find time to something else I will...

We don't want you to be upset, what size are the email attachments? Did you receive an error message? We have a 20 MB limit on email messages (total size), if those attachments are too large it will not allow the message to go through.

All e-mail services have attachment size limits. AFAIK, Cox limits e-mails to 20MB total including text and all attachments. That is total size, including overhead encoding the image to text in order to send via e-mail.
With the increase in camera megapixels, images sizes are getting bigger and bigger. It's no longer efficient to send them as e-mail attachments. I put all my photos into cloud storage & send a link anyone I want to share with. Also, I have family members set up as collaborators so we can share images between the family. One link will cover a full album and you don't have to worry about attachment sizes.
As a side note: even though Cox limit is 20MB, Hotmail can only receive 10MB per e-mail. Mail larger than 10MB will be sent by your Cox account but rejected by Hotmail. Gmail and Yahoo mail are a little larger, their limit is 25MB.
