Thanks,

I've tried changing Mail, Outlook, and Airmail smtp port numerous times to 465 only to have no emails being sent. I've tried updating each program with 993 and 465 for IMAP but I've gotten the same result: I can receive emails but can not send. The only reason my smtp port is set to 25 (Unsecured) is to be able to send emails. It's interesting that I'm having the same issue with all three programs but not with Webmail. NO, I don't want to use Webmail instead of Outlook.
This is an issue that COX has known about for years. Just because Cox tells us to change our settings by January 25th 2018 is not going to magically make Mail, Outlook, and Airmail start sending emails.
Better Cox support to fix this issue is needed. I've changed my settings to 993 and 465. Now that I've updated the ports is Cox going to ensure I can receive and send emails?
Cox customer for over 25 years. But maybe for not much longer.
