please help me set up my email before i throw my computer

this is pissing me off so much right now, i'm very stressed about all sorts of shit and this is just putting me over the limit!


I'm trying to set up my cox.net email address in outlook and it isn't working, i have no idea what I could be doing wrong, i've changed everything that could possibly be changed that i can find and it still isn't working out! I'm going to through my mouse at my tv and my keyboard at my monitor if I don't get this working soon!


Any Ideas for what i'm doing wrong?

It is a POP3 email, what could I be doing wrong to get errors like this...




"The connection to the server has failed. Account 'cox.net', Server 'cox.net', Protocol POP3, Port 110, Secure(SSL) No, Socket Error 10060, Error Number 0x800CCC0E"


+K for help, GRRRRRRRRR i'm going to lay down, thanks for help

What are you trying to configure cox with? Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.?

Because you live in Kansas, your server settings are as follows

[b56102b5612]POP Server[/b56102b5612] pop.central.cox.net
[b56102b5612]SMTP Server [/b56102b5612]smtp.central.cox.net
[b56102b5612]News Server[/b56102b5612] news.west.cox.net

Read this http//support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=fedc2cb8-b682-47c3-8d7f-5b03674fe734

And read this http//support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=fcb44db0-3835-491c-bca8-2d56ac32a574

Enter that info in Outlook, for the POP3 mail server, and that should be great.

Incoming should be [b56102b5612]pop.central.cox.net[/b56102b5612]
Outgoing should be [b56102b5612]smtp.central.cox.net[/b56102b5612]

I made that image above for you so you can see how it should be configured.

He said Outlook in his post, by the way. You probably missed it.

Thanks a ton! I tried central.cox.net but didn't put the pop in front of it...
