Good tip. I heard on DSLReports that Cox email might be going away by next year.

I received a Heads Up also, that Cox Email would be going away in the near future.
I was advised to make other arrangements Sooner than Later.
There will most likely be very little, to no warning...

Hello WiderMouthOpen,&nbsp;
That would be news to me, if so. I have not heard anything about our email going away in the next year.&nbsp;

Well what news did you give us when the new platform came out? Seems moderators aren't kept in the loop. Maybe ask ExtraChrispy who seems to be the source of the rumor?

Hello WiderMouthOpen, It is true that like with many organizations, changes may not be announced to employees or customers until closer to the release date or change date. This may be to prevent internal messaging and strategies from reaching competitors. I don't tend to listen to rumors until there is more substantial evidence of such or an official announcement has been made. I have not heard that Cox email is going away. If it were to happen such as with other changes we have made in the past, we would let our customers know with plenty of time to make arrangements.&nbsp;
