How to Use Cox e-mail Transitioned to Yahoo via Outlook ...
Just learned the details on how to do this - the instructions in e-mails we are getting are insufficient.
- Setting up yahoo account via link will only get you to the browser-based e-mail platform. This is required as the first step.
- Once this step is done, use these setting to set up Yahoo server in Outlook: POP access settings and instructions for Yahoo Mail | Yahoo Help - SLN4724
- Old passwords will work using web-based Yahoo platform, but they will not work using outlook!
- New password is required to link Yahoo platform with Outlook - this is done this way:
- Open Yahoo page, and under Top Right-side point to You name letter next to e-mail icon and select Account - Overview
- Select Security - top 3rd from the left side.
- In the middle on the right side select: Generate and manage app passwords.
- Under App name enter Outlook.
- Yahoo will generate loooong password - Copy save it, as this will be the only time you will see it!!
- Paste this new password to Server Settings inside Outlook.
- This will link the outlook with Yahoo ...
I hope this helps - it took me one hour with designated Yahoo help for Cox transition - 1-866-562-7250
Thyer are very knowledgeable and patient!
