Cannot send email outgoing messages getting this error message: Login to server smtp.cox.net with username jimlombardi failed.

Also not getting all the incoming emails in thunderbird inbox that are in cox webmail inbox. Noticed I received most recent email but not another that was dated the day before and is in the cox webmail box.

A quick thought: possibly the login needs the domain name as well, such as jimlombardi@cox.net

What are your settings? Cox recommends: incoming imap.cox.net on 993, SSL/TLS, authentication = normal password, User Name = part of address before @; outgoing smtp.cox.net on 465, SSL/TLS or 587, STARTTLS, authentication = normal password, User Name = part of address before @. (Their instructions are not clear about the User Name format.)

State your antivirus app if it's not Windows Security, and VPN status if you have one.
