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
Cox email on iPhone 6
I just recently purchased an iPhone 6 for my wife. I've upgraded to the latest iOS and I can't seem to get my cox mail on it. When I set up the account on her phone it turns into an IMAP account instead of a POP3 account. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what did you do to resolve?4.2KViews0likes2Comments
