Pop or Imap stopped working on phone and laptop (outlook)

Webmail works fine... both devices stopped working at the same time. I have reset all pw's - tried different settings (back to what Cox support told me to do which is what is was set up for). I normally use pop but I tried imap. Back to Pop, Cannot send or receive. Webmail works like a champ. I ran Malware bytes on the laptop...no issues found.  I am fairly certain that it is something with my wife's email account on the Cox side, but support simply says that if webmail works there is nothing that they can do. Can someone help?

    I'd suggest going to webmail and try changing the password to a new password and see if that helps.

    I have the exact same issue - worked fine yesterday and now it suddenly stopped working on my phone and iPad. Support was no help at all.

    In your particular situation it appears your password has been compromised and we've since blacklisted it. You'll want to make sure you choose a new and unique password to keep from repeatedly getting locked out.
