COX e-mail servers SLLLLOOOOOWWWWWW!

The COX e-mail servers are generally unresponsive and drop connections.  I'm SO tired of watching the wheel spin on webmail, or of seeing "Outlook not responding" in MS Outlook.  This is nothing recent: it has been going on for months, if not longer.  When are you going to start paying attention to your mail server performance, and get it fixed?

    Email not working for 93117 at least for past day and I wonder if I have missed emails previous to that?  Called and rep said email servers would be fixed in a few hours, 12 hours ago!  Email via webmail.west.cox.net kinda works, but slow.  Other internet and cable works, but will be expecting a refund for the hours and hours my Thunderbird email program has not received emails.  Hope I have not missed any Lightning Discount sales.

    I am on the east coast and having issues getting mail via outlook. It started yesterday.

    But I am on the EAST COAST (RI).

    Are those servers affected by this outage or is it just the WEST coast?

    All I need is a yes or no.

    Thank you.

  • Hi RicT,

    I'm on the East Coast, also. The issue doesn't seem to be confined to the West Coast.
