Out of the blue, I just received emails from my @cogeco email account from January.

Scared me at first because it was an internet usage warning and I could not figure out how I could have used much bandwidth.

Maybe they fixed the forwarding. I still have not logged into Cogeco email for months.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27553453 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 18:33:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27541974 And here is the link to the beginning of that thread, started by yours truly.

»Why Cogeco Subscribers are NOT Notified

It's too old to add a post to bump the thread, but let me say that the context in which I began it was to show why Cogeco fails to notify us of important things.

Their email functionality flaw and their stupid policies regarding not using external email addresses to contact customers each are major contributing factors in that.

Such BS, plus a better package from START communications on the Cogeco feed, were my reasons for switching to START as soon as they said they were ready to roll.

There has been no such foolishness at START, as they allow you to specify an external email address in the first place, for all emails from them.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

We have only 2 things about which to worry :
(1) That things may never get back to normal
(2) That they already HAVE !

START Forum »Start Communications
Or you can still use Canadian Broadband.

Not the way it should work.

As noted, I also use Gmail to pull my Cogeco emails. No login required.

Here is the original posts.

I have and would still highly recommend it.

I gave up on using just Gmail, because it had become desperately slow. Gmail provides no service, so I could not ever get anyone to check what was causing the slowdown. Cogeco webmail wasn't too great either, but to be honest, I haven't tried it for years.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27518332 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:13:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27515032 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27515032 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 21:33:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514880 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514880 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:45:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514873 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514873 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:44:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514740
... a helpful gentleman advised me that the rule should work and I discovered that the system was bugged and adding a 0 to the fowarding address regardless of what I entered. The next line did not do that so I went with line #2 .

Unfortunately, the forward still isn't working and the representative advised me the rules are automatically deleted after 1 month so that won't work.

He did state there may be upgrades coming up so hopefully that will add this function, which other providers all support. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514740 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:13:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514700
I went through the mail filter and setup a rule matching obvious criteria but that doesn't work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Cogeco-email-cant-autoforward-to-external-address-27514700 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:53:00 EDT
