Solved for Outlook IMAP: I was struggling but got Outlook to work. I had to go into the new yahoo account via the web and went to security settings to turn on Multi-Factor authentication and then to Generate and manage app passwords. Then in Outlook I added a new account with File->Email Accounts->New. Use your email ending in Cox.net. Make sure to click on Advance settings and check the box ‘Let me set up my account manually’. The password to use is the one you generated in the yahoo security section on the web page. Hit connect. It will fail and you need to click ‘Change Account Settings’. Change the Incoming Mail Server to imap.mail.yahoo.com, and change the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.yahoo.com Click next and make sure you see your Cox.net email address and click the eye to make sure the password is the generated one from the yahoo security page. Click connect and it should show connected to imap for your account and be in the left side of the outlook bar with email accounts
Thanks for the reply and I’ve done all of this. Still missing the same emails in Outlook. Interestingly they show up in Yahoo, but not transferring to Outlook. Even stranger is the fact that I’m getting new emails. And I can send them. Just missing from May 1st 2024 to April 19, 2023 on Outlook. But earlier that April 2024 I’m getting. Thanks though.
