Mac with Sonoma won’t let my cox/yahoo account to go online.
MacBook Pro with Sonoma OS, I added myCox yahoo account to the Apple email program. However, it will not let me take this account online. The status will always remain off-line no matter what steps I try to take it online. I haven’t been able to find anywhere if I need to change the IMAP and SMTP settings if that’s what’s required. Anyone have a fix to this problem?0Views0likes0CommentsEmail migration if Yahoo account already exists?
I previously had a Yahoo account using my cox.net email for the account name. What happens now? Yahoo doesn't ask me to change my password when I log in and I don't see any cox.net emails... Where can I find step by step instructions? Thank you.13Views0likes3CommentsOutage
After thunderstorms rolled through our area yesterday Cox internet is still out going on 24 hours soon In a small area in Topeka Kansas on April 26, 2024. Getting their texts. Will be repaired soon but nothing! Just moved and had Cox Internet installed I know this area within a three or 4 mile range has dropped connections a lot. Cox needs to look into this area more!3Views0likes1CommentOnly IPv4 after modem upgrade (IPv6)
Hello, Today I upgrade my modem from a Cisco DPC3010 to an Arris S33. I had to chat with Cox support to register the new modem. After they registered the modem, Internet started working only for IPv6 addresses. IPv4 addresses were not routed to the Internet. The customer support representative only recommended to clear the cookies, and did not know what else to do apart from sending a technician. I could not wait for a technician to come, so I asked them to re-register the old modem. With the old modem it was again working in both IPv4 and IPv6. Any recommendation about how to fix this? Try again? Thanks, Ludovico21Views0likes3CommentsProblems with Email on Yahoo
I managed to complete the conversion to Yahoo (simple login and setting new password). Eventually I got it on my iPhone (had to add as a new account rather than change settings from cox.net servers). Then I got it to work for Thunderbird (missing clue in instructions was to use OAuth2). And I have used both the Yahoo email app for iPhone, and the web interface on my desktop. A few test emails from one account (I have 3) to the others, and it's looking pretty good. Then, I sent from gmail. Sometimes it never arrives, sometimes it goes to the Inbox, and sometimes it goes to Junk (iPhone mail) or Spam (Yahoo app) but nowhere on Thunderbird. A friend sent 2 emails from gmail, 1 to just 1 of my "new" cox.net accounts and it went to junk/spam. He sent the 2nd to all 3 "new" cox.net accounts it was fine. I had an important email sent to me (with a time limit, from the government!) this afternoon and it never showed up. Ideas? I looked for any filters, but gmail? ftb.ca.gov? Yahoo seems to want $5/month if you want to talk to them. Not happy at this point and may start the painful transition to gmail or other service. Or am I missing something?41Views0likes1CommentUsing Yahoo email in Mac OS mail app
I have created my Yahoo account in my Mac OS mail, but I can't seem to bring it online-attempts to change it from offline to online are futile. Anyone with a Mac able to help? I tried Yahoo chat, the AI bot is useless and if I want help from Yahoo I have to pay. I can't stand Yahoo in the browser. I can't see the text very well b/c my eyes are old now. The ads are annoying and I will drop Cox before I pay for Yahoo premium. We were looking for a reason to switch to the new Verizon 5g box. Might be now. Thank you in advance.Solved4.5KViews4likes97CommentsAwful!! Drops connection all the time!!
We keep getting awful service. We pay for a gig and service always drops, it stops while streaming even though cox says there is no problem, but a ton if people on nextdoor all say the same thing. I thought was our issue, but definitely not. The other thing is for last 4 months, we have been getting notices saying we are almost hitting our max data!! It is just 2 of us, and we have been here 2 years and haven't changed anything about what we do. I think cox is just trying to get us to upgrade. Cox is the biggest scam.32Views1like2CommentsWhy did my DVR stop recording certain episodes of shows set to series recording?
I have several television shows set to series recording, and recently noticed that I’m missing weeks of recordings. I have the TV shows The Voice, Abbot Elementary, etc set for series recording and it’s skipped 4 to 5 episodes and picked up weeks later after all of those missing recordings. When I attempt to play the recordings, they are only available on Peacock so I just was forced to pay for subscription to Peacock. If I want to watch my shows, why is that so when I pay for Cox Cable already and was able to record in the past? Help, I called Cox and was told that it’s something to do with the actual TV channel prohibiting me from recording, but I for Service and expect to be able to record so where’s my refund? lol help fix this9Views0likes2Comments
