Cox‘s email is now being handled through yahoo. I’ve successfully added my Cox account on yahoo to my iPhone, but I’m unable to do it on my MacBook Pro with the Sonoma 14.4.1 operating system. No matter what I do the status always remains “offline”. Anyone successfully been able to resolve this issue on the MacBook Pro with Sonoma?
I have had a separate Yahoo account for quite some time. If I point Mail to that account it connects immediately. So the issue must be that when we enter in this old cox.net address, mail decides to try imap.cox.net. How to edit the imap and smtp settings? That HAS to be the solution.
And here it is...

Cox to Yahoo issues
Exact same problem. On Sonoma 14.3.1. Setup on Yahoo Mail via web. Connects fine when setting it up on my iPhone. But Mail on laptop will not connect. I've seen several "solutions" but nothing works. Some mention editing SMTP and IMAP settings but when you add Yahoo account to mail server settings do not allow for this.
Looking at logs via Connection Doctor it looks like it's trying to connect to imap.cox.net which will, of course, fail. So IF I can find a way to edit the imap settings for the account it SHOULD work. We'll see.
You could use the yahoo mail app on the Mac but it is a real dog.
