I run apple’s mail app here and have never run into any problems with cox email services (residential or business). About the only issues I might have are usually something on their end and when they ask me what OS and client I am using, I always respond with windows and outlook. Since I know apple’s mail app inside and out, anything they might suggest for Windows/outlook should work with only a few minor changes. However, since I went to cox business, I have not used their email at all. Pretty much everything I do is via either gmail, proton mail or outlook.com I have many of the same settings for Linux using any of the half dozen or so available email clients (including pine) Honestly I would rather run with an external mail service that supports a multiple of security options and also support many more clients. Cox likes to stick to a script and only a few specific clients and if you even mention linux, they won’t even bother talking to you (they don’t have any support staff officially that offer support in linux).
