Upgraded from 4.76 to 7.0. I can't access my mail POP server account / Netscape messenger is gone! Any suggestion on how to access Cox.net???

OK, seriously. I would first go to and click on the internet support link.

Click on the link for POP and SMTP settings to verify that you are connecting to the correct servers.

Other misc problems I had when I upgraded from 4.7X to 6.X.

(1) My LAN got disabled (using Win2000). Right-Click on "My Network Places" and make sure the local area connections is enabled.

(2) The default install location for 4.7X and 6.X was in different areas, so I didn't get the mailboxes and address books to copy. I should have paid attention, but all you have to do is copy the folders from the old location to the new.

(3)When Cox started their own service from Excite@home, they changed IP addresses they use. I had to unplug my cable modem, pause, and plug it back in to reset the modem. Make sure your computer is shut down while you do this.

If these don't work, call customer support.
