Hi CherylD. Email service through Cox was at no charge and was a perk for having internet service with us. Cox decided to entrust an email provider such as Yahoo. To ensure the best email experience possible for our customers, we have decided to transition the email service and support of your cox.net email to Yahoo Mail. This transition lets you keep your email address, messages, folders, calendar, and contacts. After the move, Yahoo Mail will become your email provider and Cox will no longer manage or support your email services. There is no cost to continue to use the cox.net email address we are transitioning to Yahoo Mail. Yahoo Mail will help you stay connected by protecting your inbox with robust convenient security options including the following features:
- Up to 1,000 GB of free storage
- Two-Step Verification - To help prevent others from accessing your information.
- Option to add an Account Recovery Email and Phone Number - You can always access your account.
- Accessibility features - Includes high-contrast themes, dynamic text resizing, and Voice Over screen reader compatibility.

You may call email a perk, but I call it part of my service that I established and have been paying for 20+ years. And you don't address the fact that there is no support from Yahoo for problems(like my missing email content) unless a person has a paid Yahoo account(at least when Cox maintained our email accounts, we were to get support for email problems). Plus, as someone else mentioned in this thread, Cox should be saving a lot of money now that they no longer need the equipment/personnel to maintain the email servers.
