Ubutu cox and Thunderbird?

[Thomas Scott]

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.
