It's actually a bug in outlook, it's not updating the configuration file properly. If your using IMAP, go ahead and simply delete the email account from outlook, close outlook, reboot the computer, open outlook, and add the account back as new, and it should work after that.
Hello and thank you. i did actually try that. it still asks for password for smtp.cox.net
Hi jfleming116,
Please make sure you are using the latest version of Outlook. Also, for review, here is a link with the email servicer settings: https://www.cox.com/residential/support/email-server-settings.html
