When I downloaded Windows 10 I lost easy access to my COX Outlook Express
Its to much trouble to go to webmail so I check it about every 3 to 4 months.

Outlook express is from Microsoft themselves, it is their product.
There is a way to get the mail in Windows 10 to work with Cox - when it first launched it wasn't fully functional, but last I checked it worked well.
Launch mail - choose accounts - add account - internet email - put your email address and password in fields. This just worked for me when I tested it.
However, if it fails to work - scroll down to advanced setup (actually scroll down it's not visible by default) - click on advanced setup - click internet mail -
Email Address: Your email address
User Name: the first part of your email address (everything before the @cox.net)
Password: the password that works when accessing webmail.cox.net
Account Name: Whatever you would like
Send Your Messages Using This Name: self-explanatory
Account Type: IMAP4
Incoming Mail Server: imap.cox.net
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.cox.net
The next four boxes should remain checked - click sign in and it should work.
