Android Phone and Verizon-Yahoo Email account

I've had my Verizon-Yahoo email account as my default email on my Android phone for nearly
2 years. Suddenly, it does not sync with my actual email anymore and I cannot retrieve newly
sent email to me.
What happened?
I deleted my Verizon-Yahoo email account thinking I could readd it without issue and now it
won't add it. So, I am without my regular, most used email address on my mobile phone.
How do I fix this problem step by step and what happened in the first place.
If I canot retrieve my email there is no need for data. I need it for college classes and work,
as well as other business uses.
Can someone help me?
In addition, I have been receiving ALOT of SPAM on my regular Verizon-Yahoo email over the
past 6-12 months and I don't understand why. How do I fix that. I keep sending these adult ads
and other SPAM to the SPAM folders but it keeps coming back!! Is someone signing me up
for this stuff and how do i stop t from happening?
Thank you for your assistance in advance.
Blue.

Hi:
I experience the same problem when I downloaded systems updates on my Android Bionic phone, I was not able to sync my Verizon Yahoo email account. I went through the same steps and nothing worked, until one savvy Verizon Wireless IT support agent told me to download the Yahoo Mail App on to my phone and that solved my problem instantly. I logged in using my Verizon.net username and password and have been able to access my email with no problems ever since and have also updated my Yahoo Mail App and all works beautifully.

Mail.app and Verizon / Yahoo email account setup

I've searched and searched on here and still can't find a proper (or updated) answer to the question. (Newest answers I found were for 10.4.4 involving keychain access-which I tried...)
Why won't my @verizon.net account work with Mail.app?
I can login using verizon's online mail, but can't use the verizon-supplied settings to receive the mail through mail.app.
incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Couldn't find what port settings to use...

I think I might have found a solution. For some reason, it appears the outgoing mail server doesn't like to have the same login as the DSL setup account. I switched my outgoing account to a secondary account (my setup account is jsichol, but I used joesichol as my outgoing.)
(It is working as of now, but I've seen others on here who got it to work for a couple of days before it crapped out.)
I am actually using the verizon account linked with a yahoo account, so my ingoing and outgoing accounts are *coming.yahoo.verizon.net.
I really hope this works and that others find this thread useful.
I'm on Verizon DSL, in Richmond, Virginia.

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

Is it possible to switch from Verizon Yahoo email account to a basic Verizon.net account?

I have a Verizon Yahoo email account, and have not used it in a while. I recently started using it and realized that I hate the Yahoo portal (garish ads, cluttered interface, etc.). Does any one know if it is possible to switch to a basic Verizon account. At this point I don't care if it is the classic Webmail or the new Message Center.

Yes. I did just that a few months back. You can't do it thru the self-service portal however.
While I don't know if there are different requirements in different states or service areas which may affect who can switch, etc., what I did was use the tech support chat and explained to them that I didn't want the "Yahoo" experience any longer. Explained I was trying to switch to AOL just to get away from Yahoo but that it wasn't working thru the portal -- but once we started chatting I told them that I really didn't want AOL either -- just wanted the Verizon branded basic experience not a partner one. Took them about 15 minutes and the first line person had to involve and engineer behind the scenes to make the change, but they got it done without skipping a beat.
If you use a client other than the web client to get your email (like Outlook or Thunderbird or on a mobile device), you will have to reconfigure their POP and SMTP settings afterwards.

Having trouble setting up my Verizon/Yahoo email account on my LG Ally

I am both a Verizon Wireless and Verizon FIOS customer. I have an email account through my FIOS which is Verizon/Yahoo account, and has a @verizon.net address. How do I set up this type of email account? The only option my phone offers is through corporate (it's not a corporate account), so I tried using that option. When I entered in the requested data, I get an error message that tells me I am not using the correct server info. Am I doing this right? Can someone please provide the correct server info for a Verizon/Yahoo FIOS account?
Thank you.

I don't remember if you have to turn on the mail forwarding option from the options section on the web first or not, like Gmail. You may have to set it up manually.
# Under User Information, do the following:
   1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way you want it to appear to other people.
   2. In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name followed by @verizon.net.
# Under Server Information, do the following:
   1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type incoming.verizon.net.
   2. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type outgoing.verizon.net.
# Under Logon Information, do the following:
   1. In the User Name box, type your user name provided by Verizon Online.
   2. In the Password box, type your password.
   3. Select the Remember password check box.

Windows live mail 2102 and Verizon yahoo email

Hello
I have been using Windows live mail and Verizon yahoo together for over a year
I use Windows mail since I do like the Verizon webmail feel and format
These two program have worked fine for me until yesterday
Today we try to access yahoo mail using Windows live I get a series of errors .
These errors include
1) timeout
2) wrong password
Last night at the recommendation of VZ tech support I deleted my Live account and created a new one for the same yahoo mail address. This worked last night as all me server email were downloaded for Windows live.
However this morning when I access Windows love I get the same errors ay yesterday and no new emails since last night
I have deleted my anti virus program to see if this solved the problem , however this had no impact
Per VZ tech support I am using the correct port setting, I have tried alternative port setting with no luck
I would appreciate any help in fixing this issue
Thanks

I have had the same experience. The answer is to disconnect your verizon email from yahoo email and then to setup your email settings as described in a recent announcement from Verizon that was sent to users that do NOT use the Verizon Yahoo servers.
Anthony_VZ provides instructions in the Verizon Community Forum - Verizon.net topic. I was so disgusted by the time I wasted trying to get support to answer the simple question of what settings I should be using that I was ready to dump Verizon completely. I was eventually sent to Verizon Premium Support that would answer the question for $14.99 per month with a commitment of 10 months. I have no idea if the Verizon Yahoo ports are even compatible with Windows Live Mail any more or not (nomal support is not "trained in Windows Live Mail"). How they can make something as straightforward as providing email client settings for a common client so difficult is beyond me.
As you can tell, I am very angry about the time I wasted on this. Disconnect your Verizon email account from Yahoo and life will be better. Good Luck.

HT1668 How do I stop the exchange and or yahoo email accounts from keeping email address for future use.

How do I clear out the email address' that are automatically saved and re appear when addressing a new email?
This is unique to my phone and does not happen on either of the email accounts when using a computer.

Yes, it will be just as it was new out of the box. You would need to import your photos (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup) if you want to save them. Your music should be in your iTunes library, along with other iTunes content (apps, movies, podcasts, etc.) and can be synced back to your phone. You would lose your text messages, and would have to set up your email accounts again.

I cannot logoff from yahoo email account in the Firefox Browser. I have installed another browser and can successfully logoff. Do you have a fix so I can continue using Firefox?

I have tried several times to reboot but when I logon to Firefox then to my Yahoo email account it will not let me logoff. I have installed a different web browser and my yahoo email account works fine including a successful logoff. Help!

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email. If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out. The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

Setting up Verizon Yahoo email on my phone?

I've searched for an answer to this, and can't find an answer. I got a Razr Maxx yesterday, and I can't get my Verizon Yahoo email set up on my phone.
This is the process I've been trying:
Set Up Account
Select Other (Selecting Yahoo doesn't give an option to change the settings)
Enter email address ([email protected]) & my password
Unchecked the Automatically Configure Account box
incoming.yahoo.verizon.net (port 110)
outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net (port 587)
User name: I've tried both [email protected], and also just my user name xxxxxx
Then I get an error message saying that I'm using the incorrect username or password. I'm definitely using the correct ones though.
Does anyone has an idea how I can fix this? I've already talked to tech support at Verizon DSL to confirm the settings. He told me to try the ports 995 and 465. Those don't work either, and upon further investigation on my own, I think those ports are just for FIOS.
I really want to love this phone, but I'm so frustrated right now that I'm ready to take it back to the VZW store and go back to my old iPhone. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, it's an old "grandfathered" email service that they no longer offer to new customers. Evidently, it's not very common.
I finally got an excellent VZW rep on the phone that investigated and figured out the situation for me. The problem was that the outgoing port should have been 25, not 587. Also, it's set up as a POP not an IMAP.

TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
Just turn it off.

Open Mail preferences and delete the account. This only removes it from the Mail app and doesn't close out the service.

When adding a yahoo email account I keep getting "Server Unavailable" notification. This started after I updated my software. I deleted my accounts and tried to re-add them but continue to get this notification??

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! as you've rightly mentioned, you're already using the latest version of firefox installed and you can always initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox''.
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

How do you stop Notes on an iPhone 4S disappearing and ending up in your Yahoo email account Notes?

I have been doubting my sanity! Items held in Notes seem to disappear at random. I have established from the ASC that missing Notes are sometimes moved to the Notes folder of your Yahoo email account and much to my relief I have found them there. Is it possible to stop this happening? If so how do you do it? I cannot see anything in Settings/Notes and when I turn off Notes in Settings/Mail all my Notes disappear!

MobileMe works fine for me but you don't need a MobileMe account. You need an IMAP account.
Although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. You can't store Sent messages on the server, keep mailboxes synchronized between multiple email clients used to access the account, more than one email client cannot access the incoming mail server for a POP account at the same time or near the same time because the incoming mail server will lock the account's inbox mailbox preventing access for a period of time.
None of this is an issue or problem with an IMAP account which is designed to be accessed with multiple email clients. I keep the Mail.app on my Mac launched and running checking my MM account which has a junk mail filter. Any received message that is automatically marked as junk and is moved to the account's Junk mailbox stored on the server is reflected automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client since all server stored mailboxes for the account are kept synchronized, which isn't possible with a POP account.
