MAC Mail and Cox IMAP
September 2018 - Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6. I can no longer connect to Cox email. I see a long string of recommendations and "solutions", none of which work. Any help out here?

The imap server has been down for the last couple of hours.
Same here.... since about 12:45p CDT
COX email is awful these days.
You are not alone. Don't reset your account. Don't keep entering your password. It looks like we just need to wait.
Cox is having a server issue. Nothing to do but wait for them to fix it. A lot of people are in the same boat.
My wife has been without email to her phone and our MAC for over a week now. Even with the server working.
Apple Mail App settings are managed through the system preferences panel.
- Go to System Preferences > Internet Accounts
- Under the presets on the right-hand side choose "Other"
- Enter your email address and password
- It should auto configure (if it doesn't check your password by logging into your Cox webmail account first!)
Warning!
If your current Mail app settings for Cox are POP or if you have created folders that are stored "On My Mac" you need to back these up fist! If you remove the old account you will loose the old emails!
