I am having the same issue in Macon GA. No settings have been changed on my Outlook configuration. Technical support in "chat" seem totally unaware of the issue. Phone support wanted to "upsell" my account for PC maintenance. Apparently the phone support techs do not know what is going on either.
I am able to send email but not receive it. Original settings: pop3.cox.net, port 995, SSL set to yes. This has been happening on for going on three days now.
My question is: when will my area be corrected?
This is the error: Task 'pop3.cox.net - Receiving' reported error (0x80040900) : 'The server name you entered can not be found on the network (it might be down temporarily). Please verify that you are online and that the server name is correct.'
