Gmail POP-ing cox.net worked, now with yahoo hosting it doesn't
I posted to another message that was marked "SOLVED". Not sure what it was marked solved as I see people are having issues. I use gmail and before this transition used POP to pull my cox.net email into my gmail. My cox.net account has been transferred to Yahoo. I logged into Yahoo's webmail using Cox.net and see current email there.
The POP settings for Yahoo are not working. here are the settings and error message.
This stuff is not rocket science. This is most likely poor planning and no testing.
- I knew I should have gotten away from cox.net email a loooonnng time ago

Hi,
Did u ever this resolved WITHOUT using Gmailify? I had it working but not a fan of gmailify leaving the emails in yahoo.
I got it to work using the app generated pswd as Darkatt indicated above.
And no, WM you do not change ur cox/yahoo regular pswd.
Like you though, I knew I should have dumped cox a long time ago. This bs is typical of how they do business.

I feel the same - I've had the looming sense of doom staying on Cox email, but was too lazy to do anything about. Now this headache. The decision-makers in this company need to have their employment terminated.
