Here I am a couple of days after the cox mail cutoff. I successfully got yahoo to recognize both mine and my wife's cox.net addresses. I am able to use Yahoo webmail. But I ran into these problems and just about to resign and change over to iCloud, with the attendant changes with all the people and places I have email with:
- I cant get my Apple mail account to sign on to Yahoo as a client. Ive tried both the normal yahoo web password and created a special "app password" per yahoo instructions. Neither is recognized and the yahoo account simply shows up greyed out with the triangle-! symbol in my Apple mailbox list. The command Mailbox:Online Status:Take Yahoo Online results in no response (using a 2016 MacBook Pro, Intel based computer).
- The Yahoo mail app is not compatible with older Intel-based Macs. It must apparently be an M1 or later computer. (My wife has an air with M1 chip and I successfully installed the Yahoo mail app on it).
- The (free) Yahoo webmail contact import does not support importing any of the formats (such as V-card) that Apple can export. So I cant have my contacts there without retyping them in?
- I sure don't like the ads in the (free) Yahoo email list. Same with the app for my wife.
Does anyone know if iCloud can be set up to use our cox.net addresses? Or will we have to go thru the change of email address?
Any suggestions for fixing 1-4 above complaints are welcome.
Not happy with Cox or Yahoo.
