"Update Now" email link blocked !!!

I got an email from Cox Care <lremaklus@cox.net> or I think it is Cox telling me to "Update Now" for the transition?

Is this email valid or is it spam?

    Hi John, I know spam and phishing emails like this are frustrating I get them too. This is not an email we would send out. I get emails like this too  If you would like to, please report it by forwarding a copy of the email to abuse@cox.com

    John and Greg

    Frankly this issue is marginally solved. These phishing emails are too frequent with Cox. 

    But more importantly; Cox could have organized this Yahoo transition better. These vague Cox emails indicating Cox is about to move emails soon; over the course of now 3-4 months; with no specific timeline; has created a frustrating experience. Customers rely on their emails operating 24/7; as your business operates.

    Cox’s reputation is compromised.
