Not getting all email
I was able to set up the Yahoo account. But while I am getting some emails, I am definitely not getting all emails. I checked and they are not in the spam folder or trash folder, and I have no filters or blocked address on Yahoo that could be causing the problem. In other words, while Yahoo is getting some of the emails sent to myadress@cox.net not all of them are getting to Yahoo. I definitely know that these emails were sent and the people sending them had my correct email address, but they are not all getting through to Yahoo for some reason. For example I got the email sent to me to complete my registration to this forum others have not even got to Yahoo and are not there in my Inbox, Trash, or Spam folder. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?218Views1like10CommentsI'm not getting all of my email since Yahoo switch....does anyone think it will get better?
I have been randomly not receiving email since the switch to Yahoo(I access email direct through a browser). Some email comes through....some(even email I bcc myself on from a gmail account) don't. There is no issue with blocked addresses, or any other setting....verified by Yahoo tech support. Consulted with Yahoo support and they say it's not their issue. Do any of you tech savy people think this situation will get better? I started switching some of my email accounts to gmail....the most important business ones. But what a pain this is.191Views0likes14CommentsCould it get any worse?
First off, Cox is not my friend in the digital age or any other time. The slogan, which they undoubtably paid a fortune for, doesn’t mean jack when everything they do to their customers screams the opposite. Just days after the Cox-Yahoo! email disaster our internet has been down for the last 20 hours. Absolutely put the skids on an important project I can’t do anywhere else as all critical files are on my desktop system. My email is still not working right, of course, with about half of my emails not coming through. I know that many of you are just as angry and frustrated as I am. However, please don’t take this out on Cox rank-and-file employees. They are not the ones making these terrible decisions, it is management in Atlanta. That is where the C-level jackasses dwell, insulated from the fallout of their indefensible business practices. A perfect example is pawning us off to Yahoo! then washing their hands of the immense problems we continue to deal with as a result. Pleas be courteous and civil to the Cox rank/and-file. It Is not their fault. I’m sure many of them have the same level of contempt for Cox as we do.45Views0likes3CommentsNot receiving verification code emails new Yahoo mail
After transitioning to yahoo mail, Social security.gov verification emails are not received on the web nor my desktop app. Yahoo tech blamed the government, while I think the SSA probably could tell the .cox was funneled into a yahoo or something. It also happened I didn't receive an employers verification code, so not a single sender. It was all smooth when it was only cox.net. Any help figuring this out would be great, I have seen other threads on the web about this exact issue but no resolution yet.17Views0likes1CommentCapped at 100Mbps even though I'm paying for 1Gbps
I moved into this house a little over a month ago and I have not been able to get even close to the speeds I'm paying for. I have the 1Gbps plan and can never exceed about 90Mbps. I have had no success with chat agents as none of them seem to understand what I'm saying. I even tried replacing the modem in case there was an issue with that but it's still the exact same problem. I finally had a technician out yesterday who replaced a line outside the house (which wasn't necessary and didn't do anything to fix the issue and now I have to wait two weeks for someone else to come bury it) and then said I would need a "maintenance tech" to check settings at the box outside my house (not sure why the first tech couldn't do it) and he said that tech would arrive by 7pm yesterday; however, no one ever showed up. I am at my wits' end trying to find someone who can both understand my issue and actually fix it. It should not be this hard to get what I'm paying for.Solved46Views0likes2CommentsHow to Use Cox e-mail Transitioned to Yahoo via Outlook ...
Just learned the details on how to do this - the instructions in e-mails we are getting are insufficient. Setting up yahoo account via link will only get you to the browser-based e-mail platform. This is required as the first step. Once this step is done, use these setting to set up Yahoo server in Outlook: POP access settings and instructions for Yahoo Mail | Yahoo Help - SLN4724 Old passwords will work using web-based Yahoo platform, but they will not work using outlook! New password is required to link Yahoo platform with Outlook - this is done this way: Open Yahoo page, and under Top Right-side point to You name letter next to e-mail icon and select Account - Overview Select Security - top 3rd from the left side. In the middle on the right side select: Generate and manage app passwords. Under App name enter Outlook. Yahoo will generate loooong password - Copy save it, as this will be the only time you will see it!! Paste this new password to Server Settings inside Outlook. This will link the outlook with Yahoo ... I hope this helps - it took me one hour with designated Yahoo help for Cox transition - 1-866-562-7250 Thyer are very knowledgeable and patient!399Views1like4CommentsAddress exclusive promotion.

Got an ad from cox for 1gig fiber internet including unlimited data and panoramic WiFi for $50 a month for 24 months when you have cox mobile. Cox system won’t pull up the special price and 4 cox reps I talked to don’t help me at all because the system won’t show that price how the heck do I get some real help and get the promotion applied. Is there a special department these employees don’t know about or something how can they not have knowledge to help me I sent them pictures still no help. Anyone know who to talk to?27Views0likes1Comment
