Every three weeks I can't get e mail error says wrong password what is happening?

Question

WWhy can't I get e mail every so often - an error message says my password is wrong and I change it but does no good?

Answer 1

I am assuming  you are referring to your @verizon.net address, since you didn't specify. There is a help page for setting up your client located here that includes a video link if you would find that more helpful.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up  fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that  account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: incoming.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a secure connection (SSL): No
Port: 110
Outgoing Server: outgoing.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a secure connection (SSL): No
Port: 25 (although 587 also works.)
These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net  -and-  outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
