Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

    If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
    Then Charge for an Hour and try the Reset again.

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  If you have IOS-7, read this.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1212 Ive tried everything and my ipod still will not unlock, it goes back to the disabled screen

    Ive tried everything that apple has told me to do, but the ipod is still disabled!

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • Hey there, for some reason, on my iPod Touch 4th gen, I have never been able to get iMessage to work.When I verify my email address to activate it, it automatically goes back and never allows me to do iMessage. Why is this or what should I do?

    What should I do? This is a great feature, and I want to take advantage of it. Thank you!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>General>Date&Time and make sure it is set to Automatic
    - Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in

  • My iPod touch 4g has died, I tried to recover it, it won't work?

    I saved up for 6 months for my ipod touch 4g and paid 170 pounds for it. I was very pleased with it, but now it has just gone out of the 1-yr guarantee I am experiencing problems:
    First, a sign came up saying "No more iCloud storage is available" and I clicked "OK". Nothing happened, I clicked it again and again and the other option, "Settings" and nothing happened.
    Then I had to put it into Recovery Mode. I synced it to my old Sony VAIO PC, and started to return it to its factory settings (after I'd saved all the photos and apps). The procedure for setting it back to factory settings reached about 3/4 of the bar, before stopping and going back to 1/2, then to 3/4 of the bar again, back to 1/2, and so on. It keeps doing a Software Update again and again.
    Now i'm just waiting for the battery to die out, and then maybe try it again. I can't switch it on or use it, it just says Connect to iTunes which I've already tried several times.
    I don't know what happened to the iPod. I'm a kid, I saved up for this iPod with my own money, and now it's been taken away from me.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Yu said "it just says Connect to iTunes which I've already tried several times." Just what happens when you restore via iTunes?
