3 emails I sent to my phone text messaging came in 4 or 5 hours after I sent them.
We are used to email being almost instantaneous, but IAW RFC specification for email delivery has to take place within 24 hours of being sent. While I understand it's frustrating that your emails from your phone text messaging came in hours later, you will have to look at the properties of the email, and check header information, to see when they were ACTUALLY sent by your phone provider/messaging provider, and then compare with when cox received and processed. SOMETIME'S, it's not Cox's fault, and also, even if your phone provider sent it to Cox in a second of your hitting send, remember, if it's in your email box within 24 hours of the actual send time, it's within specifications.
I'm well aware of how email can work. I managed email server for years. it used to happen within a minute. after reading the other posts I sent a picture to my email and that went to my inbox. a text message with anything else will not, even though each text message has a text file as an attachment it goes to my spam folder.
I may have read that backwards, if the first reply IS backwards, let me know. A test from Cox webmail sent at 14:27 arrived as a text message on my phone at 14:31.
Was it a blank email? I wonder if emails with links and attachments take longer because they get scanned by Cox's anti-spam.
Nah, I sent a picture and I sent a 4 line email to text. Both showed up within seconds of each other without issue.
Sometimes the servers get backed up. Still the same now? If so, try sending yourself a email(1 with photo attached and 1 blank) and see how long it takes.
