Can't send FIOS/Yahoo e-mail using Thunderbird

I've seen other posts about this but cannot find anything that helped.
I'm trying to set up Thunderbird to send e-mail using my new FIOS/Yahoo e-mail address which is [email protected]  The ISP on the computer from which I am trying to send is Verizon FIOS.  I can receive e-mails in Thunderbird but cannot send.
I have tried both using SMTS outgoing.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.  For incoming I had to use incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and it works.
I've tried using Port 25 and Port 587.
I've input my username both with and without the @verizon.net
For "Secure Connection" I've tried all choices:  No, TLS, if available, TLS and SSL.
Whenever I try to send an e-mail it usually asks for my password twice and after inputting it the second time I get a version of this message:
The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.verizon.net failed.  The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.  Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator.
Any advice?  Thanks.
Solved!

Well, I had already done those things before.  The message I got when I tried is:
An error occurred while sending mail.  The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html.  Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension.  That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message.  It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page.  I was directed to add an account with a different email address.  A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use.  Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird.  I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email.  I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

  • I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

    I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
    I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
    The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

  • Can't send email from Apple mail using hosted exchange since upgrade to 10.5.8

    I've got a client who just upgraded to 10.8. Since doing so he can recieve email but not send it for a hosted exchange account. He can send and recieve from his personal pop account. It is a wireless connection.  I have tried the following without any success:
    1. Verified all the config info was correct (server password etc) - no change
    2. Deleted and re-added the account - same result
    3. Deleted keychain data and readed the account - no change.
    4. Ran disk utility (why not?) - no change
    5. Removed an internet sharing app called open garden - no change
    6. Installed 10.8.1 - no change
    After trying all of this when we start mail everything looks good and then the outbound server abruptly goes "offline". The exchange host says there are no issues on their end. Internet works too. Email delivers/sends to his iPhone, iPad, and a home iMac that was also upgraded to 10.8.
    Anyone with other ideas? This one has me stumped.
    -Jonathan

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.

  • Can not find some messages in Mail using search

    I have some problems with Mail.app I can not find some messages in Mail using search, the strange thing is that sometimes mail search finds some messages, but after rebuilding spotlight index the search displays other messages with the all messages searched using same search criteria. I have also tried to delete Envelope index file from the Mail folder in usr/library and forced mail to import all mailboxes but it started to crash importing some of mailboxes - I deleted the messages from that mailboxes, imported remaining mailboxes and tried to rebuild mailbox, but everything without a successes. Any ideas how to solve it?

  • Can't send even 1-member Mail group to SMTP server

    Using Mail 2.1.3, I can't send a group e-mail via my ISP, smtpauth.earthlink.net. This is true even when the group contains only one address, my own. The message is accepted if I expand the group.
    Earthlink's SMTP mail server says "message does not conform to RFC2822 standard".
    Apparently Earthlink is looking for something different from what Mail is sending it.
    I'd welcome suggestions of what I could do to make this work.

    To clarify: what exactly do you mean by "drag the Group to the BCC: field" ?
    If I open Address Book, select a group, and then drag to the BCC field _all the individual members_ of the group, the message is sent.
    But if I drag the name of the group, the message is not sent.

  • Can't send or receive e-mail on EDGE network

    Just recently I can't send or receive e-mail on the EDGE network - both work fine on WIFI though.
    Safari and all other features work fine on EDGE and WIFI so it's an e-mail issue. I am using an IMAP account, no SSL, Incoming port 143, Outgoing port 587. After trying to connect for some time, sometimes I get a "cannot connect to server" message but usually no message at all.
    I would really appreciate some advice

    Am in Olympia WA for the holiday - I live in San Diego - I agree started two days ago. I spent 3 hours with Apple Support - they conferenced in ATT and they were no help. Eventually - I did a restore and did not change a thing. Am using 1.1.2.
    Something happened late monday as it was fine sat - mon night. Since I do not live in WA - I assume things will be OK when I return to CA. Giving ATT a call might help - but you will definately need to get it escalated to a higher level.
    I have sent this forum link to the great apple T3 support person that spent so much time with me - hopefully he will forward on to ATT and it will get resolved for all of you. Something did change on Monday night.

    Can I send and receive e-mails on my Ipad (third generation) the same as I do on my iPhone 4s? Both are through Verizon. And if I can, where do I set it up at? Thanks.

    Yes. Why couldn't you use the same email account?

  • Can't send iMessage via E-mail

    I can't send iMessage via E-mail.
    There is no possiblity of typing '@' '.' etc.
    Sending new message (iMessage) looks like this:
    Everyting is activated.

    My only other suggestions is add the email to a contact in your phone.  When you type that contact's name, their email show pop-up below as an option.  If that doesn't work, I don't know. Sorry.

  • Importing Windows Outlook 2007 email to Mac Mail using Thunderbird Workaround Looses Some Messages

    After being away from using a Mac for 5 years I'm back with an iMac.
    I found this workaround to import Outook 2007 emails to Mac Mail using Thunderbird on the PC http://www.trickyways.com/2010/08/how-to-transfer-emails-from-outlook-to-apple-m ail/
    On the PC Thunderbird imports all my Outlook messages correctly and all are there.
    Then when I import the resulting Thunderbird mailboxes to Mac Mail some messages are being lost. The directory structure for my mail folders imports correctly, just that some messages are missing.
    There are earlier posts here saying Eudora Mailbox Cleaner worked for people but this wont run on Mountain Lion.
    So has anybody got any ideas on how the get  all my Outlook e-mails to the Mac without losing anything?
    What about software like Outlook2Mac, does it work fully or will I still have the same issue of some lost mail?
    Can't believe I am having this problem migrating Window to Mac, you'd think it would work perfectly and not put people off from switching.
    Cheers.

    Okay I slept on it and had a brain wave.
    I set up iCloud Mail on Outlook 2007. Then copy messages from my Outlook Inbox to iCloud Inbox.
    On the Mac copy the messages from iCloud Inbox to a folder On My Mac so they never get lost if I delete the iCloud account.
    Playing about with it and it seems to work fine. Any reason why it could cause issues?
    I love it when a workaround comes together!

  • My Ipad 2 was working fine, after  syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works, but if you go to the mail settings they the settings freeze. I can't send Emails. I am using outlook, anybody has an answer?

    My Ipad 2 was working fine, after syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works fine but if you go to the mail settings the entitre settings freezes. I am usng Outlook but can't send mails.  Any body has a solution?

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
    Bob

  • Can't send email in Windows Mail

    On May 12th I was unable to send emails under Windows mail.  It would come back with an error message of  "0X800CCC0F".  In my account I'm using (POP3) incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and (SMTP) outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.
    My SMTP port is 25 and my POP3 port is 110.  I receive emails but can't send any.  If I go to Verizon's email site I can send myself emails and receive them.  I don't like Verizon's setup so I've used Windows Mail with Vista and Outlook with Windows ME without any problems.  I've tried changing port numbers and checking and unchecking SSl and SPA until I'm not quite sure where I was originally.  Something must have changed 5 days ago but I not sure how to fix it.  Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one.  Around the same date I began having the same issues (right after Microsoft installed updates).  I use Vista and have had this problem ONLY with Verizon ISP every month, at least once a month.  This time, it hasn't stopped since the 12th. 
    Due to this, I finally gave up and ran the Verizon In Home Agent, which Norton suggested I do not do.  I should have listened to Norton.  The IHA lists that I have two Outlook email address, both of which are the same.  I checked my Outlook and I only have one listed.  BUT, since I used the IHA I now receive emails twice and can't send any at all unless I use Webmail.  The IHA says there are no problems with my email, but I still can't send. 
    If you figure out the resolution to this, I'd love to know....and I will definitely try the link to Microsoft that someone already listed.  I can't use the Windows Mail or Outlook to send. 

  • Can't send OVI IMAP e-mails from mobile phone or o...

    Since a few weeks, I can't send OVI e-mails (IMAP) from my Nokia mobile phone, or Outlook express. Receiving e-mails works fine. So, I can only work using the webmail interface.
    - Settings I am using on Outlook express:

    If you have experience with this issue, thank you in advance for sharing your knowledege.

    Hi Mitch_2012,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
    We would advise you try the following SMTP server on your Outlook Express:
    ovi.smtp.mail.yahoo.com, SSL port 465
    When entering your username, please be sure to include your complete @ovi.com email address (For example [email protected]).
    You did not mention your phone model in your message. So, try to reset your phone to factory settings by following the instructions in your phone's user guide. This will clear all settings and mailboxes on your device, after that just set up your OVI mailbox again by following these instructions. 
    Let us know if this helps,
    Puigchild

  • Can't send smartform to external mail address

    Hi, everyone.
    Now, after creating some self-defined smartforms, we want to send its
    PDF copy to
    our external mail address. From this point, I had some try.
    Reference to SAP Library, I make a testing program named 'YPDF_TEST'.
    However, one exception always exists when running and error message id
    is 'XS806' - means
    "No delivery to &, invalid recipient address"
    I filled the address with following fields.
    [ dev_mail_recipient-logsys = 'CLNT600'.
    dev_mail_recipient-objtype = 'RECIPIENT'.
    dev_mail_recipient-objkey = '[email protected]'. ]
    I just can't understand the real reason why it doesn't work.
    Through debugging, I found the error occurs when handling the following
    codes
    in function "SX_ADDRESS_TO_DEVTYPE".
    [ swc_create_object o_recipient 'RECIPIENT' recipient_id-objkey.
    swc_get_property o_recipient 'CommunicationType' m_recipient-type.
    get_property_longvalue o_recipient m_recipient-address. ]
    On the current situation, if can't come over this problem,
    we may not build the connection and don't provide information in time.
    Failed to send, I yet try another function - added the tail but on earthdidn't get it ~~~
    Would you give me some hints or advice ?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can follow a different approach. Send the output of the Smartform to the spool.
    You have a Function Module to read the spool and convert it to PDF . Then there is one more function module to attach the PDF and send it as a mail.
    You need to configure SMTP in Tcode : SCOT.
    Search the forum with emailpdfattachment
    You have umpteen postings available.
    Pls reward if useful.
