Learn to configure Microsoft Outlook 2007 to send and receive Cox email.

Solution

POP vs. IMAP

Note POP is the recommended incoming mail server for customers who will primarily use a mail client (i.e. Outlook, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, etc.) to receive email.  However, if a customer also plans to regularly use a smartphone (i.e. Blackberry, Iphone, Android, etc.) or the Cox Business Email web interface to receive mail, then IMAP should be used. Instructions for both approaches are below.

Select the E-mail tab.

Click New.

Select Manually configure server settings or additional server types.

Select Internet E-mail and click Next.

Enter the email account and server details:

  • Account type is POP3
  • Incoming mail server is pop.coxmail.com for POP, or imap.coxmail.com for IMAP.
  • Outgoing mail server is smtp.coxmail.com
  • User name is your email address
  • Password is your account password.

Click More Settings.
