Hi Major Steve, Cox is working to improve our email security to better protect our customers' personal information, and also to align with current industry standards for using third-party email clients.

      Hi Major Steve, please ensure you are using TSL Security Encryption 1.0 or higher. Cox no longer supports sending email through email clients using SSL security encryption version 3.0 or older. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator
