About the only issues I might have are usually something on their end and when they ask me what OS and client I am using, I always respond with windows and outlook. Since I know apple’s mail app inside and out, anything they might suggest for Windows/outlook should work with only a few minor changes. However, since I went to cox business, I have not used their email at all. Pretty much everything I do is via either gmail, proton mail or <a href="http://outlook.com" class="">outlook.com</a> I have many of the same settings for Linux using any of the half dozen or so available email clients (including pine) Honestly I would rather run with an external mail service that supports a multiple of security options and also support many more clients. Cox likes to stick to a script and only a few specific clients and if you even mention linux, they won’t even bother talking to you (they don’t have any support staff officially that offer support in linux).<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Eric</div><div class="">From the central offices of the Technomage Guild, Mail services Dept.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 14, 2019, at 7:38 PM, Thomas Scott <<a href="mailto:mr.thomas.scott@gmail.com" class="">mr.thomas.scott@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Cox's email platform was recently upgraded, I'd check to see if you're using TLS instead of the SSL 3.0 and below.
