Thank you.

Why is Cox Support still interposing themselves after transition to Yahoo!

I was under the impression that Yahoo! Support would take responsibility for our mail after the point of transfer.

Will we now need to deal with both? What faculties does Cox have for checking technical aspects of Yahoo! IMAP and webmail services?

Hello, we would be happy to assist with any questions or concerns you might have. Please email us your “full” name, “complete” address, and a copy of your post to Cox.Help@cox.com if further assistance is needed. Thank you!

That's awful! I'm not on here for that problem, but my sister's husband is in IT for YEARS, and he had a hard time with the change over. I guess GMAIL is out for Cox to use, as Cox doesn't want you to know, they have awesome services available. I'm using that. 🙂 Good luck. And sorry anyone has to deal with Cox. 

Thank you Toddavery you are correct. What setting should it be then? I'm not even sure where to change that. i'm to the point where i just might forget about using outlook and just check yahoo every now and then, i'm also moving towards discontinuing the use of my cox email since it's been so frustrating. 

That is a very good question. I have not tried (not much, anyway) to get the potmail or IMAP working properly but my few attempts did not even acquire mail at all.  My previous experience with POPmail and IMAP  is what led me to suspect that was your problem.  There are two different things you can do. One of them is to select DOWNLOAD AND DELETE and then the only mail you have is the mail that is on your local machine in the Outlook files (.ost or .PST).

In that case, you will only get each email downloaded to you once and then the server will dump it.  Another option is to delete all your local mail every time you pull mail from the server.  That might sound absurd, but it actually makes sense if you are downloading mail to several different sites and only saving it at one site.  From the site where you were saving mail, you copy The mail you want to keep off to the files where you store it. Delete everything else as you download it. 

When I use an arrangement like that, I had all of the remote email readers DOWNLOAD AND SAVE.  The site where I was saving email was set to DOWNLOAD AND DELETE.  That way, when I had saved the email, it no longer appeared in the other male readers. 

That entire discussion assumes you were using pop mail.  IMAP handles that a little differently and I have never tried using that approach with IMAP.  With IMAP, each male reader sees what is on the server. If you delete email in your inbox, it is deleted on the server as well.  Obviously, you would want to save any important email before you deleted it from your inbox.  (Moving mail from your inbox to the long-term folder makes sense because then it is automatically deleted from the inbox when you save it.)

I hope that my voice typing is sufficiently legible because I have not proofread my voice typing for this response to closely (because I am driving and should not be texting at all!).

Sounds good, but I am confused.  What is "the security section in Yahoo" in tangible terms.  Is that a website menu item, a telephone call, a maintenance team; in short, how does one contact "the security section in Yahoo" to get the app password allowing POP mail in Outlook.  You say did not need this to set up SMTP...how did you authenticate the email sending (and what do you mean by "My updated password" if it was not what you got from Yahoo security section)?  

Thanks!

"What is "the security section in Yahoo" in tangible terms."
In Yahoo web access go to the user icon top right, hover the mouse over the icon and from the menu pop up click on "add or manage account" the click on account info. In Personal Info section click on security near the top. In the security area the section is Account Access
Right section is "other ways to sign in" click the generate and manage app passwords.

"how did you authenticate the email sending (and what do you mean by "My updated password"

This was the password we had to update on our 1st login to Yahoo with our Cox.net addy. 

Hope this helps! 😊

What does that mean if you have to create an app password to replace it with something secure and modern.....

Many of us are not technologically savvy and are just doing what we find works to get to our email on our Mac computers. This was the only thing that worked for me, to download another mail account and follow the directions from there, including creating an app password. I am about ready to just get a different email address, which would be such a pain!
