MS Email and Windows 10
Support. When I try and open my MS email program the screen begins to blink on and off and then resets my graphics card to basic display driver, lo-res and will not allow me to access email. There seems to be an incompatibility with Cox ad Windows 10. MS email. I can access email via my connection on cox.net. I can access email from other servers. It is only to combination of windows 10 and cox services that i get this bug. No error message. Just malfunction. I have deleted and reinstalled the Mail program and the problem persists. Any advice?4.8KViews0likes12Comments
Does COX work on Windows 10 Home using POP3?
I'm unable to get POP3 running on Windows 10 using the new native client. The COX help page is a bit different than what I'm seeing on my Win10 screen. The Win10 account setup asks: Account name: <I'm assuming this is anything I want> Your name: <I'm assuming this the name I want to send under> Incoming server: pop.cox.net Account type: POP3 User name: < I've tried both forms - xyz@cox.net & xyz - neither works (but I think with the @cox.net is correct) Password: My password (used on my Win8.1 & Win7 machines, and verified using webmail.cox.net) Outgoing server: smtp.cox.net It then gives me the following four prechecked options... (1) Outgoing server requires authentication; (2) Use the same user name and password for sending email; (3) Require SSL for incoming email; and (4) Require SSL for outgoing email. Having all of these checked seems correct to me When I save the settings it tells me "All done! Your account was set up successfully." There is another "Done" button to click and the account shows up. But... It won't work and it has a nice red Attention required under the account. So... is COX POP3 supposed to work on Windows 10? I haven't tried IMAP4, but since my other machines are POP and that's the way I like to work, I'm afraid having one machine using IMAP while other use POP is a bad plan. Any ideas?3.3KViews0likes1Comment
