Cox email sync with outlook broken

Hello,
My Outlook no loner is syncing with my cox email.  I use outlook live on my online browser to access.
It stopped working when Cox changed the required server settings on 12/4/2019.  I forgot to update my outlook account.  When I did try on the 4th it
would not work.  I deleted the emails on Outlook and tried to add them back using the correct server settings.
When I try I am receiving an error stating We are unable to access your email provider. Please check your server settings or try again later.
I have tried Cox chat and phone call with no help.  Any advice?  I am not super tech savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're not alone -- see the forum post, "Outlook for Mac Email problem after Cox maintenance".

How do you do that and will you lose your emails in your inbox?

Can somebody please list the steps to delete a Mac's outlook account and then recreate it with the proper cox settings, so that I can start receiving emails again in my Outlook?
