Cox Internet Outlook Email Settings

Cox Internet Outlook Email Server Settings for Orange County and Beyond.Advice for cox.net home users.

Cox internet is no longer offering a free cox.net email account with new subscribers. On Aug 15, 2019, Cox has become tired of dealing with email issues and wants to relate free email to the googles and office365. If you are a new subscriber, get a free gmail or outlook.com account instead.

In the first quarter of 2024, Cox has begun moving all of the subscriber email accounts to YAHOO mail. Soon enough you will recieve an email to setup your yahoo email. Once you complete the steps, your email will be fully hosted on yahoo email as a cox.net account. Your Outlook SMTP and POP settings will need to change too. If you want to continue using Outlook to recieve your email, you will need to change its account settings, by changing the server settings. You will also need to logon to yahoo mail security settings and create an Application password for outlook. In this blog entry, we will explain how to change your Outlook settings and make that Application password and where to use it. If you want us to do that for you, call us to schedule an appointment.
