Perhaps you could ask them to set up an alias for you. My GF was irritated by not always getting her email at home, so I set her up 2 addresses. When mail comes to [email protected] it is forked to danna & danna1. She checks danna at work, and danna1 at home. Both computers get everything. And as long as the reply to address is the same (or the smtp username the same) they both appear to come from exactly the same place. Which they in fact do. This can be done easiest by editing the /etc/aliases file (cox would have to handle that). You COULD add a simple .forward file, but that requires 3 addresses. One to split the mail, the other two to actually check, elsewise it keeps forking everytime the main address sends itself a copy of the mail. Trust me, this is a BAD thing.
