Reactivating an Inactive Cox Email Account

Cox no longer offers the ability for new and existing Cox Internet customers to create new Cox Email accounts.

Cox Email accounts are locked for inactivity for the following reasons.

• When the primary or secondary mailbox has not been checked for new email for at least 180 days following the customer's last access.
• When the Cox Email account has been deleted by the customer.

While the account is inactive, no new email is accepted and all messages are returned to sender.

To reactivate an inactive Cox Email account, use the primary User ID that you set up during your initial online registration to sign in. Refer to Understanding Digital Identities and Account Types for more information.

From the Cox.com homepage, click Sign In My Account.

Enter your primary User ID and Password.

Note: If you do not remember your User ID or Password, or experience an issue signing in, see Recover Your Cox User ID or Reset Your Cox Password.

Click Account.
