Cox has notified me that my email account that is used via windows live ports must be updated for security purposes. A cox tech support agent guided me through updates and now i cant receive emails. 

My incoming server is pop therefore I cant remove the email account and re add without losing all my emails. 

When I try to send myself an email, it appears in sent mail however not in inbox.

Cox refer me to Windows tech support as my cox  email works well on their site implying issue is with windows live. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
