We, from Cox, are now shipwrecked here. First there was no warning of the move. Then we find that addresses, personal files, etc. are lost--no longer connected. Now, I find the settings provided to use Yahoo in Outlook don't work. I have tried some 50 or 60 variations of the IMAP and SMPTE set-ups and all are rejected by Outlook. So now we have our records and contacts in one place, but they can't be used there because Cox shut our access to email down as part of the surprise move. New email is going to another place (Yahoo), but all the previous threads and plans and conversations and agreements and contracts and contacts are gone. Poof. Hundreds of contacts and deals archived or in progress, disconnected. Even our email address is stuck here. Business halts. Cox's surprise move to Yahoo locked us in here. Yahoo throws away the key with its dysfunctional tech.

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.
