Well I see that Cox has locked the original thread, but Dave J asked me whether this was an issue with both webmail and my email software. Yes, just like everyone else!
So far, Cox has not responded to my emails, has asked me a public question, and then has locked the topic before I could answer it. This is not my idea of good customer services.
Thank God I use a different email vendor for my solo law practice! I could be in serious trouble if I relied on Cox.
I was wondering why we could no longer post comments on the original thread! So Cox locked the forum? Now that's good Customer Service! I noticed the last comment on the forum was from Tiffany at Cox, saying they are aware and are working on the problem. That's not a good way to "close" a forum. The forum should be kept open and going, with continuous updates from Cox.
Per Tiffany's suggestion (at Cox), on the original thread that was locked, she suggested we send emails to cox.help@cox.net. I did just that and DID get a reply back from Ed at Cox (yesterday) regarding these late delivery of emails to WebMail.
Here is Ed's reply to me (copied and pasted):

Hi....
I apologize for the ongoing issues, there are issues currently relating to the migration going on that are effecting and delaying mail servers that our mail team is working on. Most have been seen with the Fed1 servers but it has effected some others as well. We do not have a ETR as of yet but if one is give you a update.

YES, THIS IS STILL UNRESOLVED AND THEY LOCKED THE THREAD ON US!!! I was looking to see if there was another thread for this topic and couldnt find it. So, I opted to follow everyone in the last forum thread and found you here. I CANT BELIEVE they locked the Thread. Thats ridiculous!!! I was trying to start another thread, but I see you already have...plus I couldnt seem to figure out how to begin a thread..LOL . Seems like in 2 weeks time, they could have solved this problem!!! COX, why did you lock the other FORUM called DELAYED EMAILS, when the problem wasnt solved yet?? It is a good sounding board for people, so they know they are not alone in their COX ISSUES. SO, Why did you lock the thread????? Tiffany, you were the last one on it, so why did you lock it? And also, why are we still not getting notifications, when others post to the thread?
If someone is new to this thread, you can go to the link below to read the previous 50+ comments on the original forum that has been locked (regarding emails being delivered late to WebMail).
Here's the original link for reference. There's a lot of information on the original forum link.

I sent an email to cox.help@cox.com again today, asking if they are any closer to resolving the delayed email issue, or what the current status is or any new updates.
My question to them was:
Is there any new information regarding this issue with the delayed incoming messages to the Fed1 servers?
Would like to know status as of today, please.
Also, would be good if someone (at Cox) can please post on the Cox Forum with an update.
Below is the Cox reply I received today (copied and pasted):

Hi ........
Thanks for asking, but no, we have no new update on when the issue will be resolved at this time. We appreciate your patience during this time.

What do the people that operate fed1rmimpo server have to say about all the delayed emails comming from them? Are there other servers that can be used? Is there a way to set up our Cox email, so that this server does not come into play? Since not all people are having this issue, like my husband for instance, there has to be something in the way our email is set up or processing? Why ours, and not everyones? There has to be a reason ?? Although, I set both of ours up over 17 years ago at the exact same time. What is your tech feeling on this? Thanks for your input.
I just had a thought. How many of us are using the PRIMARY email address on our accounts? Mine is the primary email address and my husbands is 2ndary. His email IS NOT having any delayed problems. To all on this forum and our original forum if you happen to see this one, please let us know whether the email address experiencing this problem, is the primary? Thanks
Yes, mine is my Primary, having the issues. My other 2, and hubby's are having no issues.
Good thinking on that, but.........looks like poster "grrrrrrr" is having problems not with is Primary.
To: Duopshebop,
The Cox person Carol probably won't reply here. Her posting here was an email she sent me that I copied and pasted from email, so she didn't actually post to this forum.
But perhaps Tiffany at Cox will?
Help, Tiffany...........any new status on the fed1 server problems?
Please keep us informed.
