Instead of turning off VPN to send email, you could put in a more
specific route so that you don't have to loose your VPN for all outgoing
connections while sending mail.<br>

<p>I found my Cox smtp problem. Cox was having trouble with reverse

select VPN over SMTP problems. <br>

That's odd. I used Cox email for years with Thunderbird
without issues.<br>
Maybe they changed something on their back end?<br>
<br>
Are you sure you are connecting to the correct SMTP
server?<br>
<br>
Also Cox should not care what operating system you are
using.<br>
Thunderbird is OS agnostic software. Their instructions
for using<br>
Thunderbird on Windows should be sufficient.<br>
