Once I received the email from Cox telling me it was now time for me to transition to Yahoo Mail (around March 14, 2024), I used the IMAP settings at https://help.yahoo.com/kb/devices-sln3697.html. I immediately transitioned and it has worked perfectly since March 14th. I can now send and receive my cox.net email using the Outlook email client (both traditional and "new" Outlook). The key to successfully setting your Cox.net email up in Yahoo Mail lies in whether your Cox.net data has been MIGRATED to Yahoo Mail yet. If it has not, you can try to set up the email client you're using all day long and you WILL NOT successfully log in to the Yahoo Mail servers. Yahoo Mail has to be able to recognize your Cox.net email address and can only do so once Cox has migrated your data to Yahoo mail.
I am technically challenged and I am dreading the Cox transition to yahoo. I actually do not understand how you use the iMap settings. How do you go about using it and how do you access it. Please excuse my naivety!! I would appreciate any advice you can give me

xwordgal, once you have received the email from Cox informing you that it is time to transition, as shown here https://www.cox.com/residential/support/email/deactivated-mailbox.html#:~:text=To%20complete%20your%20account%E2%80%99s%20transition%20to%20Yahoo%3A%201,you%20choose%20to%20discontinue%20service%20with%20Cox.%20 just follow the simple steps shown at https://www.cox.com/residential/support/completing-the-transition-to-yahoo.html . You should then be up and running in no time! Remember, it is essential to first be notified by Cox that it is time to transition. This will mean that Cox has successfully migrated your account data to Yahoo Mail. Until the migration has happened, you can't log in to the Yahoo Mail servers. Hope this helps.
