How to delete my Primary email address and add a new one.
For 20 some years I've had the same email address with Cox.net., and lately it is a chore to delete the many junk emails that I get each day. Never had that problem until recently.
I've been on Cox Chat line and I get "nowhere" with these so-called support people. They keep telling me I cannot change my "Primary email" address.

There is an option to change it. However, what's to say your new address won't be compromised as well?
- Log onto Cox
- Click View My Profile
- Navigate to Contact Information
- Click Edit
- Edit Primary Contact Email

I have had the same experience. I called many years ago to have my primary email deleted because it was hacked, and the so-called representative kept my email and gave me a new one. Now I am limited on what I can do since it is not the primary email. Whenever I contact Cox, they tell me I have to delete my old email. I ask them why you can't do that on your end, and they always tell me they do not have that option. What the heck! This is so ridiculous; they have no problem taking my money but can't get rid of my old email that they failed to protect from viruses and being hacked!😠
