The issue has been resolved. It took a couple of hours on the phone with a knowledgeable (and patient!) tech support agent. For unknown reasons, my Cox password wasn't working, and I had to reset it...this was the primary culprit. (I say "unknown" because just a couple of hours earlier I'd used that password with no problem).
At any rate, everything's been migrated over to Yahoo (Apple Mail on Mac, iPhone, and iPad). The only remaining issue is that a lot of the mail attachments didn't survive the migration. I suspect they're lost forever, as I can no longer access Cox email directly (and have deleted that mail account). Oh, well....
Hi OzzieMike, I'm glad you were able to get the password issue figured out and complete the setup on each of your devices. Depending on the size of your mailbox, it can take 24-48 hours for all your mail to populate in your Yahoo folders. I haven't heard any reports about emails losing their attachments during the migration to Yahoo. So that I can better understand what's happening, please try this test. Rather than using your Mail app on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad for this test, please use a web browser to log into your Cox.net email account at http://mail.yahoo.com/. Within your Inbox, navigate to an email that you know contained an attachment. Does the email show there is an attachment, but you encounter an error when you try to view the attachment? Or, is there no indication that the email contained an attachment? I'd like to get to the bottom of this for you!
