Cox.net transition is a nightmare
Since I started my Cox transfer it has been a nightmare on my Mac and my PC. Even my My.Yahoo home page on the Mac is screwed up. Only device working properly is my Samsung Phone.

Cox did its customers a great disservice by switching to Yahoo Mail. It completely sucks! If I didn't have to go everywhere and change my email address I'd get out of it. They freaking want me to pay to send emails to myself - which I used all the time! Don't they get enough money with all the ads we have to deal with? Gonna figure a way out of this ****** mail service!!!

I'm not getting the old emails that I used to and Yahoo decides what is "spam"! And emails from years ago are there!!!

@ Yahoo Mail Team(Sr. Community Manger, Yahoo)
I assume you are reading these comments and are doing something about it.
Since my Cox.net account was formally transferred to Yahoo couple of weeks ago I no longer receive my new mail on my Samsung phone, although my phone is fully sync all the time witn my PC.
What other detail and specifics do you need? How do I get my mail on my phone?

Funny that your Samsung Email App works.
Since my Cox account was trensferred to Yahoo Mail 2 weeks ago my Samsung Emaill App, although is syinchronized with my PC all the time is not receiving any of my new mail that now goes to Yahoo mail using my old @Cox.net address.
A true nightmare despite all the Cox and Yahoo promises that this will be a seamless transfer.
How do I have my incoming new mail to show on my Samsung phone Email ?

This UN-noticed and thoroughly messed up transition has cost me years of e mail records, personal files, and the ability to use Outlook. No matter what IMAP settings you try Yahoo will not run in Outlook as synched IMAP. You can get it partially in using POP settings but you still lose all connectivity to previous e mail and personal files and then you have to clean up both Outlook and Yahoo daily--they won't synch in POP--all you get are copies. Yahoo is up to some sort of force-feed to use their ad and spam-laced system and Cox left us high and dry. Many with businesses need to preserve their e mail addresses but the price is steep. With Yahoo the basic functionality just isn't there and many have lost years of day to day tending to their business e mail communications. Yahoo has GOT to make it possible to set up in Outlook with IMAP. Saying it's possible is not enough. You have to make it really work.

Going from Cox to Yahoo is horrible. Can't send emails, all contacts didn't get transferred, they want you to pay extra to be ad free & to speak to someone for help. Yahoo is useless. The transition couldn't have happened at a worse time (the day before I'm leaving for a week). Cox & Yahoo will be out as soon as I get back.

we didn't get spam/ads with Cox, now I have to pay extra for that. today we are getting message that E-mail message would not load & to try again. sometimes loads sometime not. e-mail screen won't hold size setting. have to log in every day or nothing loads. this was supposed to be the same as Cox, it's not.

Yahoo just took over my Cox account this morning. I have NEVER had so much useless email come through. It's like the SPAM door opened up and just lets anything in. Not happy with that!
