I'm a new customer of cox. I set up a new email with cox. trying to send emails from this account end in a failure message, that the smtp.cox.net server timed out.
What is the problem?
I'm using thunderbird on a windows 7 ultimate 64bit machine.
The two gmail accounts work fine.
I have been using SMTP Cox email for years and this morning I can receive but not send email.
Phoenix, AZ user.
I just sent a test email to my gmail account and Cox Webmail is working OK.
I have been using Thunderbird Email for over a dozen years so nothing new with it.
Just tried to send an email again using Cox SMTP server, still results in failure.
| smtp.cox.net |
Use one of the following outgoing SMTP ports:

I have always used port 465 so tried port 587 but sent email fails. Now changed back to port 465.
I too am having trouble only with SMTP. All accounts are receiving email but cannot send. Worked a few hours ago! Just to be sure, because it has fixed problems in the past, I first shut down the Mac mail app and restarted, that did not fix. So I just rebooted the machine and when the mail app started up I received mail but sending mail pending in the outgoing box tries for several minutes then gives up with verify your username and password. I have not changed them since it last sent email several hours ago, so what next?
OK, somebody somewhere did something because all of the sudden "Sending..." started up and the messages pending were sent successfully now several hours after trying to do the same thing but failing each time.
Sending is restored. Thanks to the unknown tech.
