trouble getting incoming email

I have a primary cox email account and two secondary accounts. A few days ago, I quit getting incoming emails on one of my secondary accounts. I can access the inbox, but no new emails show up. I can still send emails from the account.  the primary and other secondary account are working fine. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, you'll first want to check by sending yourself an email from/to that username to see if it's received. When responding please include a link to this conversation to us via Facebook PM, Twitter DM or email to cox.help@cox.com. -Carol

      When  I am in the secondary account that I cannot access new emails in  my inbox, I composed a test email and sent it to the email address. I saw the inbox number of unread messages increase by one. It appears the message went through and was received properly, but is not being displayed.  I was able once to get the inbox messages to display, but when the inbox went to update I got this message "Error: Failed to load messages    Retry". when "retrying" , I get the same message. I have tried deleting the secondary email and reinstalling. I am not having this problem with my primary email address or one other secondary. I will email this to cox.help@cox.com. Another note: I am able to autoforward new incoming emails to my other secondary email account.

        Are you seeing the email come into webmail if you send a test message and check it there first before checking your other mail program?
