Reactivating an Inactive Cox Email Account

Cox Email accounts are locked for inactivity when any primary or secondary mailbox has not been checked for new email for at least 180 days following the user's last access. No new email is accepted and all messages are returned to sender while the account is locked for inactivity.

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

Sign in to your Cox account.

From the Account Overview screen, click View My Account.

Click the Users & Email Accounts tab.

Locate the User ID with the inactive email account, then click Reactivate Email Account.

Note: If the message No Email Account displays, click Create Email Account to add a new mailbox. See Adding Cox Email to an Existing User ID for more details.

Confirm that you would like to reactivate an email account by clicking Reactivate Email Account.

Result: A green confirmation message displays. Visit myemail.cox.net to send and receive your email, set up your calendar, and more.
