    Yup. Heard it's slow since the new UI. Best suggestion is to use a email client like Outlook or Thunderbird or move to a different email provider.

      I agree - very very slow and freezes many times. Poor design. Cox says it will get much better after the rollout is completed. I doubt it. Cox cannot even invest in their own website - Takes forever to load and navigate. You would think this is completely unacceptable for an internet company. But cost savings wins again over customer service!

    Go into the Webmail settings (that's the gear icon) and you can make it look and feel just like it did before.
    Check: Layout-List
    Check: List Options-Checkboxes
    There is another Settings next to the Cox logo the 3 bars icon
    Go to Inbox-Check: Show date and time

    Hope this helps

      That doesn't work. I can still only see 5 emails at a time. 2/3 of the page is everything BUT emails. If they made the other junk smaller I could see more of my emails and when I open them up I could see the entire email instead of a tiny bit where you have to scroll endlessly to read it.

        Your Display is probably set too high, My Browser default Zoom is set to 120%
        My Computer Display is set to 100%
        Also install AdBlockPlus to your Browser to get rid of the Ads.

    While I am not a fan of the new email, it is fairly fast on my system.

    Yes, terrible and terribly slow. That it is not "my system," is demonstrated by my having multiple cox email accounts. When the first was transferred to the new awful format it was immediately slow and awful and eager to crash or freeze as we all know, but the accounts that hadn't yet been transferred were only as bad as they had previously been. Bad, of course. The search function hasn't worked in a long time, but at least it was possible to read and reply to simple emails. On the new system it took me more than 20 minutes today for the reply window to load. And then it failed to send repeatedly. One email, probably a total of 40 minutes.

    I presume Cox would prefer we all move email to other other providers so they needn't support something they don't yet charge for separately. In that regard, any tips on how to move to another provider without losing what for me is a very long email legacy in Cox? Well, much of that has already gone missing, but I would like to retain some of it.

    Yep. I am hoping once they get it like they like it, it will be much better. Sure feels like dial-up now don't it.
