Email service down (9/4/2018)?

Unable to log in via my Outlook or webmail.  And, just to preempt it:  No, it's not my password, or my username, nor my browser, nor my e-mail app.  This is systemic across several devices/apps/programs.  This seems to be a system issue on the Cox end.

WTF, I just spent an hour trying to re-create my email accounts, passwords, IMAP and STMP settings to no avail having anticipated this is a result of a Microsoft problem. Now I don't even have a clue what the original settings were. For what we pay COX, this is unacceptable......!!!!

It may be time to be done with COX permanently and head to ATT service. I don't have time for these issues.

Hello Gtpowell,

I apologize that the email is not working. What email client are you using to access the email?

Update at 12:35pm PDT:  Can access via webmail again, but it's even slower than usual (which is saying something.)  At least I can check my mail now.  Still no access via Outlook, or my phone.

It is down in New Orleans as well. My residential account works if I log in directly at the Cox site, but does not work on my phone, tablet, or computer.

I contacted COX on chat and agent said "Your email is working fine, we're currently having issues with our email server, we're trying to solve this as soon as possible. We're sorry for any trouble this has caused."

This is the reason I like this forum.  Not because of the great responses we get from the company.  But I can learn from the other visitors to the forum.  No need to spend 40 minutes on hold to find out that the server is down.  No need to re-enter my password and reset my account.  Thanks to everyone who came here to help today.

Exactly what I did. Password rejected so look at the forums and see I am not alone. Good thing my important email goes to my own email server since the COX server frequently goes down,

Note: I am in RI too.

Same here. This appears to be nation-wide. I wonder if they have a hacking problem?

Same Email/Outlook problem here in Mesa, AZ.  Pop up menu CONTINUOUSLY is asking for passwords.  Typing in the password is fruitless, b/c error messages read "can't connect to ISP's servers".  Also I am getting "Can't synchronize folders, can't connect to Internet Service Provider's servers".   So, it's not us, it's Cox.

HELLO COX.............CAN A MODERATOR REPLY HERE WITH AN UPDATE,  PLEASE??!!!!
