COX Mail setup for Iphone 3GS

Has any set up mail on Iphone 3GS with a COX account with success. Wireless carrier is AT&T. If so I sure could use some help!!
Thanks

I tried to follow these instructions for connecting my iPhone 3GS to my Cox email account (the East region) with this page from Cox:
http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=158115c0-571b- 4cad-a21d-28e74c663906
I could not get incoming or outgoing mail to work as shown in the article; although I could save the settings, when I tried to access the mailbox I got "failure to connect" error messages.
Just for kicks, instead of entering my full email address for the *incoming mail server* and *outgoing mail server* settings (e.g. [email protected]) as the Cox article displays, I entered my email address without the @ symbol and domain, just joeblow for both of those settings.
Eureka, that worked. I found that it worked being connected to my home wifi, and when connected without wifi over the regular cellular network and the 3G network.
So far, so good. I'll keep trying this for a day or two, and if it still works I'll post full instructions and also provide a comment to Cox so they can provide this suggestion as well. I'm sure these settings worked for Cox at one time, so I'm not sure why they didn't seem to work for me.

  • How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

    What to do about blurry pictures for iPhone 3gs?

    Use "tap to focus" feature for the iPhone. Just tap and hold the area on the screen that you want focused. Since the 3GS is not as a good camera taker as newer iPhones, be sure to hold the phone very still. That should do the trick, just a little patience, and physical integrity
