So While COX is no longer in the email business, and spends it's time trying to delete some of my accounts, they're now telling me I have to move from win7 Pro and Outlook 2003 just to get their email??? Requirements are win 8.1 or newer and outlook 2016 !! I don't need or want that much security. this **
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2-client#bkmk_winhttp Earlier versions of Windows, such as Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012, don't enable TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 by default for secure communications using WinHTTP. For these earlier versions of Windows, install Update 3140245 to enable the registry value below, which can be set to add TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 to the default secure protocols list for WinHTTP. With the patch installed, create the following registry values: etc.. (frack. 3 systems to work on. )
Thanks for the tip. So you got this email too? Did it specifically mention TLS 1.2 as the requirement or just the OS/client?
I think if Cox could have it's way it would disable POP/IMAP/SMTP all together and just support webmail. First outsourcing, then grandfathering, and now this. They are slowly shrinking the amount of people they have to support.
