You got that right. Cox only supports Outlook Express--noting more, nothing less. They do have configuration settings for Outlook, but Outlook Express is their baby and that's that. I can configure to port 587, but should I also reconfigure the pop3 port and if so, to what?

I do know that it will work with the new port configuration. Also know that cox just like comcast is very pushy about there Internet usage.
