FAQ for Cox email transition to Yahoo
I have received two emails that appear to come from Cox about the transition to Yahoo email. They both give a link that claims to link to an FAQ for the transition. After the first email, I chatted...

Question for everyone: One of the really bad things about Cox email is the seeming inability to filter spam. All my accounts get the same junk over and over again - Lume Deodorant, Renewal by Anderson windows, etc., etc. Does the Yahoo service do a better job of eliminating spam than does Cox? I'll note that this stuff always comes from different probably-garbage addresses, and Outlook doesn't seem to have the ability to filter on the display name, so I've been unable to concoct appropriate filters.
Outlook doesn't seem to have the ability to filter on the display name
Outlook doesn't provide the ability to filter email by display name, but Webmail does. You would have to verify it works this way, but email blocked by Webmail should be blocked from Outlook linked to your Webmail account. Try using Webmail Filter Rules to discard unwanted email by display name. To discard email from Renewal by Anderson, do the following:
Settings > All setting ... > Inbox > Scroll down to: Rules > Add new rule
Enter: New rule name
Add condition > From > Contains > Renewal by Anderson
Add action > Discard
Save
This only applies to email going to Inbox. Filter Rules don't apply to email flagged as spam by online security companies.
