===== Configure K-9 mail for Cox pop mail ===== These are the steps I had to use to configure K-9 mail for my Droid Razr (Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich) - From the Home screen, tap the K-9 Mail button. * If you have not previously created this account, tap the Menu button and select Add Account. * If you have setup this account previously on your phone, tap it, press the Menu button, then More, Settings and finally Account Settings * Enter your full Cox.net email Address and Password and tap Manual Setup. - From the Setup menu, tap Fetching Mail, and at the bottom tap Incoming Server - Enter the following Incoming Mail Server information in the spaces provided: * Username - Enter your email username (do not enter "@cox.net") * Password - Enter your email account password. * POP server - Enter pop.east.cox.net (on the West coast, you may have to enter pop.west.cox.net) * Security: SSL (Always) * Authentication: PLAIN * Port - Enter 995 - Tap Next. If the screen returns to the Fetching Mail menu, the incoming server settings were correct. - Click the Back key and tap Sending Mail. - Scroll to the bottom and tap Outgoing Server - Enter the following Outgoing Mail Server information in the spaces provided. * SMTP server - Enter smtp.east.cox.net (on the West coast, you may have to enter smtp.west.cox.net) * Security: SSL (Always) * Port: 465 * Require sign-in: checked * Authentication: AUTOMATIC * Username: your Cox mail user name (without "@cox.net") * Password: your Cox password - Tap Next. If you are returned to the Sending Mail menu, the configuration was good. - Tap the Back button until you are returned to the Account page. - Notes: * depending on where you are, you may have to turn WiFi off. Some ISPs block pop mail to servers outside the ISP's domain and I have not found a way around that. * The resulting problem is that it appears to me that fetching mail over 3G or 4G uses much more battery than WiFi. 3G is definitely better than 4G from a battery life standpoint.
