POP Mail iPad Set Up Problems (Cox Cable)

Hello!

Tried to set up two of my Cox.net email accounts on the iPad and after several minutes of the spinning cog, it was unable to connect to the server in each case. I used the proper username, email address and POP server (pop.central.cox.net) and used the same SMTP server as my iPhone (cwmx.com). Unable to get email set up.

Anyone else have this or similar problems?

Anyone have any solution or suggestions?

Thanks much!

MB Pro, Powerbook G4, iMac3, etc., Mac OS X (10.4.11)

No, you are not in an alternate universe . . . or we may both be in the alternate universe. I have similar experience as you. I have an iPhone that will receive cox email reliably, and, sometimes, even send cox email (rarely).

I have duplicated the iPhone settings on the iPad and it is a no go. I have tried all sorts of ports, SSL on SSL off, deleting everything and starting over.

A week or two ago I sent a letter to Cox senior management suggesting that with a hundred million or more ipads, iphones, i . . . that they might expend some effort to sort this out. It will be interesting to see if I receive a reply.
