iPhone6 Setup for Email
Hi, I want to set up my iPhone 6S for Cox email. The steps I found to do this say I must:
1) Go to add a mail account
2) Specify "Other"
3) Put in you account name, email address, password
4) Hit next
I get an error back stating, "The IMAP server "imap.cox.net" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field."
I hit OK and I am now on the details page. The host name that is in the Incoming Mail Server is "imap.cox.net". That was automatically filled in for me. I know my connection works because I can get to other websites. I know my password is correct because I am on this forum with the same password.
I try it again (hitting next). I get back this time another error: "Cannot Connect Using SSL. Do you you want to try setting up the account without SSL? Yes or No" Personally, I don't care what encryption is used, but I would like encryption. Since it doesn't seem to work with SSL,
I reply for the purposes of setting up/troubleshooting by replying "Yes". I get back after "verifying" the error message again, "The IMAP server "imap.cox.net" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field."
I don't want to use POP, but I tried that as well and failed with the same message. Is there another name for the IMAP server?
Any suggestions or is this a lost cause?
