I run apple’s mail app here and have never run into any problems with cox email services (residential or business). 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 outlook.com 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). -Eric From the central offices of the Technomage Guild, Mail services Dept. > On Oct 14, 2019, at 7:38 PM, Thomas Scott wrote: > > 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. I would third the recommendation to get off of Cox's email platform, and I'm writing this sitting in Cox's Atlanta NOC. From what I've seen, our IT/Data side is moving away from anything customer facing that isn't automated and revenue friendly - e-mail is a part of that bit bucket. > > > Thomas Scott > about.me/thomas.scott > > Thomas Scott > about.me/thomas.scott > > On Mon, Oct 14, 2019 at 10:26 PM mike enriquez > wrote: > Cox has new policies.
