Email down 20231101?

Can't get to email either through the web interface or through any of my devices.  My credentials work since I'm able to sign into the support site, so it's not a password issue.  Seems like there's an issue with the email authentication system.

  • Nice...so I send an email, and only then am I told that the e-mail is down for maintenance?  Why is this not posted somewhere instead of "there's no service outages in your area"

    Leave the Forums open and try to open Webmail in another browser tab.  I just accessed Webmail for the first time today, without signing in (to Webmail)..  Apparently, it used my Forums credentials.  I believe that's new.  We've always been able to re-open Webmail if another browser tab was left open.  But I don't recall ever being able to access Webmail with Forums' credentials.  Just to verify that, I closed the browser, signed into Forums again, then opened Webmail without an additional sign in.  I then closed all browser tabs and signed into Webmail.

      Tried that, no luck.  Still won't let me access even via the webmail.  Spins for a long time, then eventually times out and throws an error when trying to sign in.

      Thanks for the update.  We must be in different parts of the country.  I think Cox email is split between east and west.  That probably means Cox email where I live will be down for maintenance some time soon.
