Outgoing e-mail server on Android
My outgoing Cox e-mail quit working on my android phone today. I have changed nothing-my outgoing smtp server is TLS port 465. Port 587 will not work either

Same here on my desktop with Windows10. Nothing changed on my settings and NONE of my Cox email accounts can send mail.
Hello, please ensure that your operating systems are up-to-date. As of 04/24/19, all email sent from a Cox Email address must use TLS 1.0 security encryption or higher. As a result, Cox no longer supports sending email through email clients using SSL security encryption version 3.0 or older. SSL / TLS encrypts information from potential thieves as it is sent from one location to another, such as when sending email messages. Choosing to encrypt with SSL / TLS provides added security to email. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator

My SENT email from my device are getting stuck in the Outbox. (receiving email is fine)
Are these the correct settings?
INCOMING SERVER: IMAP.cox.net
SECURITY TYPE: SSL
PORT: 993
IMAP path prefix OPTIONAL
OUTGOING SERVER: smtp.cox.net
SECURITY TYPE: TLS
PORT: 587 (I tired 487, 465,, too = no luck)
