cox has transferred their email to yahoo, now outlook will not accept the email account how do you connect

I have outlook 2011 .... do you think it will work with that year also?

Hey go to Mail on Yahoo site. Then go to settings on the right top corner. Next go to More Settings towards the bottom. On the left pane you’ll see Filters. See if anything is set there.

I followed the video and it seemed to work then did not. You must log into yahoo with cox.net email password go to security and "generate PASSWORD (When you login to yahoo remember the password you created when you first logged in and made up a new password) Once logged into yahoo Go to security and generate password for "outlook" . COPY the generated password. Go to outlook and enter all the stuff login name ******@cox.net set the xxxx.mail.yahoo.com on both incoming server and outgoing server make sure the ports are set correctly. Then login to outlook. It will ask for the password. This is the one generated and when it says to update do it! I was under the impression it was a one time password and did not save. It seems this generated is the pasword Outlook will use. DO keep your new password you made up to log into yahoo. YOU DO NOT NEED THE GENERATED PASSWORD.

NOW MY ONLY PROBLEM IS MOST ALL MAIL GOES TO THE YAHOO CREATED 'Bulk" mailbox and not my inbox. How do I solve this problem?

I cannot find any active filters in yahoo for my account there none in outlook.

If there were away to transfer mail (move) from bulk to inbox that might work It does not seem to. Also rules for inbox don't seem to work on the mail moved from "bulk" to inbox.

It's puzzling that this suggestion was successful to get one of my Cox/Yahoo email accounts up and running in Outlook, but it has yet to work for another. (I've followed all of the steps in the video posted by Jerwemy Moore's post and used the pop.mail rather than imap.mail suggested by Summerland Citizen as these procedures finally helped me connect to Outlook.)

Is there a possibility that the traffic is just too high on Yahoo due to the Cox transition and I need to be patient beyond the two days that I've been trying? The Outlook message says that it "times out" and to try again. Any ideas?

Thank you.
