COX is not forwarding my mail 100%

I have my COX mail configured to forward my mail to my Gmail account. This used to work 100% until they changed

my COX webmail from Classic view to whatever they call it now. Since the change (and I can't get it back to classic)

every once in a while someone will tell me they sent an email to me. I go on COX Webmail and there it is not forward

as configured to do so. It does not happen all the time but occasional. I would like to know why this new web mail look

does not forward 100% like the old trust worthy classic look did. I also would like to say when COX made the change of their

Webmail look, they did not retain my forwarding of mail. After a week of not getting any mail forward I was shock to see

all the mail on the Coxweb mail site and not forward as it should have been. I should have been notified to go into the new look

and restore my configuration to forward mail.

I spoke with COX Technical support today. They told me since the new cox web upgrade (downgrade for me)

having mail forward is a known issue. They told me it wasn't necessary to forward IP addresses which I thought

was ridiculous as they have confirmed it was a COX issue. However I supplied them 2 COX email addresses

which I have over the last week had problems with their emails getting forward to my Gmail account.

All I can report is as told to me, "work in progress" which is code word for they have no idea when the problem

will be resolved. So as stated, the upgrade is a downgrade for me offering less quality/reliability as before.

In addition, I also now have problems with some AOL email not reaching me period.

The disturbing comment was "since there is no charge for email" they take no responsibility in any compensation

meaning a credit on your bill for poor service. Unbelievable, I could understand a statement like that from a true free

email provider like Gmail, Yahoo, however I thought I had to pay cox money to get a cox email account. That's part of the package therefore some form of compensation should be offered while the issue exists. Its been several months now since the switch from the reliable web mail to the unreliable.

I have had the exact same issue -- some mail does not get forwarded, but from a few of my friends and my husband I am getting everything twice! This just started happening a few weeks ago after the changeover.

I sent an email explaining the problem I am still having with COX WEB MAIL not forwarding all incoming mail to my Gmail

account as configured to do so. Not sure what you mean by asking me to forward the URL. Thats usually a website

link. As far as contacting me the customer support will see my email address from my email to them.

Hi Kenk,

I believe the requested URL to include in the email was the one to this forums thread.

Hi dcdeb,

I am sorry to hear you are having issues with forwarding and duplicates. To remedy the duplicate emails, we recommend deleting all duplicate emails manually and be sure to remove any pre-existing inbox filters or rules. Once the filter or rule has been removed, you will need to re-add the desired filters/rules back to the new Cox email platform to eliminate duplicate email messages going forward. This should stop the duplicates. As for the forwarding difficulty, there is a known problem with customers forwarding from a Cox account to another Cox account. Are you having issues forwarding to Cox addresses or non - Cox?

Do you have the Cox Spam filter turned on where it deletes spam email? For years I used this service it worked great get rid of the junk but recently it started to delete legitimate email I shut it off and have it send everything to me I just filter it with outlook.

I continue to have this problem with email not being forward to my Gmail account. I never had this problem until the

recent so called upgrade with COX Webmail.

Today I had 2 emails not forwarded. They where from another COX user.

I do not have my SPAM filter turned on.

Can someone address this.

I would like to add I just manually forward the 2 recent emails that did not get forward automatically

and doing it manually I was able to forward them to my Gmail address.

Please look into this matter.
