This is an unproven theory. Chrome is probably the browser you normally use. Do you always 'Sign out' when leaving Webmail? If you don't, sessions accumulate (fact). Over time, this might cause unexpected results. When you changed browser, sessions hadn't accumulated... yet, so Webmail functioned normally. To clear accumulated sessions, open Webmail using Chrome:
Webmail: Settings > All settings ... > Security > Sign out from all devices

If that fixed your issue, please let us know. Otherwise, here are some Chrome things to try, one at a time. (If you're familiar with Chrome settings, just do the bold stuff). When testing, close all Chrome browser tabs and re-open Webmail.
- Verify you're using this Webmail URL: https://myemail.cox.net/
- Verify you have the current Chrome version. Click the three vertical dots in the upper right > Help > About Google Chrome
- Open Webmail. Reset site permissions. Click the lock icon left of browser address bar > Site settings > Reset permissions
- Clear browsing history, Cox cookies and cached images and files. (With Chrome settings still open) Privacy and security > Clear browsing data > Check 'Browsing history', 'Cookies and other site data' and 'Cached images and files' > Clear data
- Disable extensions. (With Chrome settings still open) Extensions. (Disable all extensions. If that solves the issue, re-enable extensions you disabled and and disable each, one at a time, and test until you find the extension causing the issue).
- Let us know what fixes the issue... whether it's one or more of the above or something else.

Now I cannot send/create emails: Unable to save draft due to exceed quotas
No, I never have "signed out" - Cox email is always open unless it closes itself - OR things go bust. I tried understanding the instruction - I don't know where this wheel of settings really is: Is it in the Cox email (don't see that here), is it in "Chrome Settings Myemailcox? I reset permissions there (the lock icon link) wiped clear usage data, or is it in Chome users: android phone, TV etc etc?? I tried all the things in the menu box, and restarted the computer relogged into Chrome relogged into Cox OXmail and...got that error messge. It really is not working at all now. 20 years at this email address, and not a newbee, but the level of complexity is approaching requiring an associate degree with daily training...HELP!

If you're able to access Webmail at all, use Chrome and follow these Webmail instructions.
Click: Settings (upper right of Inbox) > All settings ... > Security > Sign out from all devices
Before you click the last button to 'Sign out from all devices', please count how many sessions you have listed. When finished with these instructions, please reply to this post and include that number.
You should do the above occasionally to clear any accumulated sessions before they become an issue, in case you sometimes forget to Sign out.
If you can't access Webmail, Cox may have to maintenance your Webmail account to force "sign out from all devices" so that you can sign in to your Webmail account. Going forward, always Sign out when you leave Webmail.
