cox.net
Cox has moved all its email services to Yahoo which could be a great thing. My main issue is that now the only way I can get my emails from all 6 of my Cox addresses in one inbox is blocked because I don’t want to pay 5 dollars for each account so that I can forward them to one in box at Yahoo.com that I have used for a few years now (which may not be possible anyway due to cox.net address). I don’t mind paying the five dollars a month for the original Yahoo account to take advantage of the benefits but not for each of my Cox address’s just to forward them to a single Yahoo address. Called tech support at Yahoo and was told I would have to use a 3rd party application to gather the emails and reforward back to Yahoo. And that the five-dollar fee was only good for Yahoo address’s so might not work for cox.net anyway.
Please make it possible to allow cox.net and other companies that Yahoo takes over email handling from to set up an auto forwarder if it goes to a Yahoo.com address? As it stands, I will start closing these email addresses that I have used for over 20 years and once done I will close down the main Yahoo address. Yahoo loses a modest $5.00 a month and all the data that they gather from my emails. I’m willing to bet it's not just my five dollars and data that will be lost over time.

Return control to Frontier.
Email used to be convenient. Log in, read mail. Simple. No longer. The original login now covered over? Forced to change password? (I just reentered the original, system didn't even detect this.) Forced to enter recovery accounts? Twice? With not options? You must be kidding.
And now it asks me to sign in to post this? I am signed in!!
Just plain STUPID!

Hey buddy! Welcome to ..... what we deal with everyday. Most Yahoo users like me started in the last 90s, WAY before Google or Cox, and we don't want to leave 25 years of emails/pics/documents behind.
- - multiple flag colors has never been an option. GREAT IDEA!!!
- - multiple signature has never been an option. GREAT IDEA!!
- - priority emails has never been an option either.
Wait until you see the address book. An inferior product created about 5 years ago to replace what was working very well. .
And wait until you try to alphabetize your lists. That's impossible at Yahoo.
That was another casualty of the "new & improved" address book.
I hope you won't still be here 25 years from now as well. -

Not a suggestion but a complaint! I was moved today from cox to Yahoo (not at my request). And I am TOTALLY DISSATISFIED> The transfer was confusing and some files appear to be missing. I had emails "FLAGGED" with different colors to locate quickly and enable rapid responses. You have made all eight of my colored flags "stars" and they are all the same color "yellow". Now it will take hours to find each email that was "flagged" as I had over 400 that I was working with. Further, I haven't seen how to set and then switch signatures in my email. As I had multiple email signatures that I could select and move between with just a click, I so far have not seen a method of storing signatures and then in a click changing the signature based on the audience or recipient. Additionally, just sending a email giving it a priority seems impossible as searching has yet to locate what with Cox was just a simple two click process and one that I need as several emails I receive each day are demanding an "immediate" reply. Another, failure of Yahoo was the failure to transfer all my Cox email accounts at the same time, so I am having to switch back and forth to check and respond to email on my emails, and there has been an issue in doing this task when my VPN is connected, I use the VPN for protection and this hassle of signing in and out takes time which adds time to simple routine functions. Then to I pay not to receive ads, Cox is currently my internet access provider, but I'm being forced to have Yahoo for my email, and thus getting another expense the eliminate ads when it was not an expense with Cox. I DON"T LIKE YAHOO AS IT IS FAR FROM SATISFACTORY and I haven't been able to speak not chat with human concerning these problems. I WANT A REPLY AS I WANT SOME OPTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

I had 2 Frontier email accounts that were supposed to migrate to Yahoo on March 20, 2024. One of the accounts migrated, but the other one seems to have disappeared since I'm unable to sign into it. So far, any and all attempts to get support from either Frontier or Yahoo have been unsuccessful since Frontier claims it's Yahoo's problem, and Yahoo claims it's Frontier's problem. I suppose I could try the live support number, but why should I have to pay someone to correct a mistake THEY made? While I'm on the subject, that automated chat/support widget that pops up in the corner of the screen offering to help is totally useless, and should be replaced by a person who knows what they're doing. If, that is, you actually have someone in the company who knows what they're doing and can actually help people.
