Cannot Send Mail

I looked at yahoo and didn't like it.

I already have a gmail account and the simplest way for me was to let gmail take care of transferring everything. I did use mail forwarding from Cox but it wasn't needed. Gmail takes care of everything. You put in your Cox credentials and it starts transferring everything that was in your Cox inbox. No need for some ripoff $99 program that I saw while Googleling for instructions. Free and easy.

I also decided to change my email address with all the websites I normally use. I get so much junk/spam/phishing in my Cox email that maybe this will free me from a lot of it. It wasn't that hard. Just log in, go to your profile and edit your email address. Most of them will send a text code to verify, and then you're done. All my important websites are in my bookmarks, so I just went down the list, some 2 dozen businesses, banks, credit cards, etc.

If you want to simply transfer your Cox emails to gmail:

Start a gmail account with Google. Open your gmail and click the Icon Wheel (settings). then click "See all Settings." Look for "Accounts and Imports" then for "Import mail and contacts." Enter your Cox login info and BOOM, sit back and let it do the rest. Takes about a day for some 700 emails.

You might want to also get the Gmail app for phone, iPad, MacBook, etc, whatever you're using. Or just go to Google.

I am having the same issue.  Is there something in the settings that I need to change on my iPhone?

Hi John, I'm sorry for the difficulty you've experienced this morning when trying to access your Cox email. If you can still access your email by logging into myemail.cox.net or www.cox.com, your account has not yet moved to Yahoo. We'll need to investigate a bit to determine why you're getting the outgoing server error. So that my team can further assist you, please email us at Cox.Help@cox.com or message us on Twitter (@CoxHelp) or Facebook (www.facebook.com/coxcommunications)
 

same issue. I cant send emal from my iphone. I cant access any of the settings for the outgoing mail server either (although everything looks good)..... When will this issue be resolved?

Unfortunately this is a KNOWN issue with Apple Email clients, and it happens with ALL services not just Cox.

Yes, that's 122 MILLION hits for cannot send mail with Iphone. Happens with MAC computers, iphones and ipads. If you are setup as IMAP, delete the account and re-add the account, that SHOULD fix this issue. 

I reported this issue back on OSX 10.5 as a beta tester, they never fixed it, and carried the issue over to their mobile devices. Good luck getting it fixed permanently, it will ONLY happen when enough people take Apple to task to get it fixed, and quit blaming email providers.
