It has been frustrating because on several websites where the site was supposed to send me a verification or password reset email, I would never receive the email using my cox email address. It has happened with nextdoor.com and AZ MVD site to name just two. I spoke to the tech person at the the AZ MVD site and she stated that this has been happening to everyone using a cox email address. Whenever possible, I switch my email to my gmail email address and no problem. Apparently this has been happening for some time with Cox. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what Cox is doing, if anything, to rectify the situation. (And, no, the emails are NOT going in the spam folder, they are lost in space.) Re: Unable to Receive Mail A day after maintenance, the problem has finally been fixed. Just now I was able to receive emails on my older Windows email client with SSL enabled using Port 995. Re: Unable to Receive Mail I have the same problem with POP3 on Windows Live Mail. Two phone reps told me they are getting calls on the problem but have no idea why. Another rep on the Cox app told me that Cox did maintenance on its emails servers this morning which why 3rd party email clients can no longer sync to receive emails, although emails can still be sent. But he said he did not have a clue how to fix the problem. In short, Cox is telling customers to just use its WebMail and it is anyone's guess whether Cox will make the effort to fix its servers to once again allow 3rd party email clients to sync in order to receive emails. Spammers using tricks to prevent filtering words in subject line. I don't think Cox even has spam detection any longer because it no longer detects any spam that even my old Windows Live Mail can detect and place in the junk folder. So I have been trying to use the filters to prevent downloading of spam to my email client. Spammers use a different email address each time so blocking or filtering the "from" won't work. The body is either in HTML or a photo with the ad so nothing to filter there. So I was hoping I could filter out by detecting certain words that frequently appear in the subject line. Well, seems that is useless as well. For instance, I see the word military in the subject line often so I set a rule to filter any incoming emails containing military in the subject line. Well that doesn't work because it seems spammers can use some tricks to prevent this. Although the word appears to be "military" spelled correctly, when I forward to Cox spam report, the spell checker in my email client flags that word and every other word in the subject line as spelled wrong. It looks something like this in the forwarded email: m_ili_t_ar_y. Every other word is broken up with either a _ or ? as well, although in the incoming email it looks perfectly normal. Can someone explain what is going on and is there any way to defeat this trick?
