Changing email settings

I have received an email from Verizon telling me I need to change my email settings to the following in order for my email to contine working after September this year. I have changed them and now my email does not work. Is this a legitimate message? And do these settings work for anyone? I use Thunderbird on my laptop and I also have an iPad.

Yes, the message is legitimate, and yes, you must eventually change server settings as described. You may find this onerous, and you're not the first person to face this issue, but eventually it must be done.
This topic has really been beaten to death in the forums. I'd say your best bet is to type "thunderbird" into the "Ask the Community" search box at the top of the page and start reading. There's a vast amount of detail there.
My impression is that just about everyone eventually gets the settings right, after which the system works as desired. Still it may take some doing. Good luck.

Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work? I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe. This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot. But I know both were exactly the same. But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

How do I change the email settings in quickbooks?

there change the contact email:-)
Dear Steve Djokes,
Thanks not only for replying, but for asking that question about micing vocals!
Anyway, I have already changed my email address in my Apple ID account, but still, for the discussion group, it shows my old I.D. I'm not that familiar with Apple's site, and I'm not finding my way around very well. I'm just a drummer, still learning to become computer savy. But just for giggles, I went to the support page, and I believe I read every letter, but never found where I could log in.
Thanks again for that "vocals" post. Good things came out of that for me.

Has Verizon changed email settings for the iPhone?

Hi-
have an iPhone with iOS6 installed. Haven't changed a thing for quite a while, but it stopped receiving Verizon/Yahoo emails yesterday (using the built-in Mail app). Did Verizon change something on the email settings? My emails are coming into my home computer so my password is correct and active.
thanks

I've been wracking my brain over this for a few days and I finally found the solution. Before it was enough to just use your username to access your email account, but since Yahoo's outage you apparently need to add "@verizon.net" to the end of your username for it to work. I was going crazy because I quadruple checked my port and SSL settings on my phone like all the other forum posts suggest. All my settings lined up with what they should ave been but still wouldn't work. On a whim, a final desperate try before I deleted the account from my phone, I added the "@verizon.net" after my username, and the !#@%# thing worked! Give it a try. It certainly won't make it work any LESS.

New message regarding changing email settings

We lost the message about changing the new email settings. can some one tell us what it was?

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: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.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): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal
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
If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.

Fix current link in"action required now" notice; verizon.com/assist is NOT a "guided setup".

It would appear that these emails are actually phishing scams. See "New Phishing Scam Targets Verizon Online Customers" under Support / Announcements in your My Verizon.

How do I change email so pictures appear instead of links and code

how do I change email settings so pictures appear instead of links and code?
Also how do I change settings to get .doc attachments instead of win.dat attachments?

I advise you to look at your code and ask yourself if it's efficient. What is you wan to add a few numbers to your program? You'll have to add a lot of lines of code.
Ah well, here's the answer to your question (partially):
double sum = (one+two+three+four+five+six+seven+eight+nine+ten+eleven+twelve+thirteen);

I have an Iphone 4s from my work. Until 2 days ago, my iphone would notify me when I got an email or text. Now it does not notify me at all and some times it does not ring at all either. I have not changed any settings at all.

My iphone just randomly stopped notifying me when I got an email, text or voicemail. Sometimes it will not even ring. I confirmed that the volume is turned on and I have not changed any settings at all. My software is up to date. In my job I need to know when I get an email without having to constantly activate the screen or open the email icon.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem?

First, is the Mute switch activated?
Mute switch is above the volume buttons on the left side of iPhone.
If you see red/orange color the the mute is ON.
Also check Settings > Sounds > for New mail, Text Tone, etc.. have sound entries?
If that's not the case try
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

I can not longer send email from my .me email. in outlook 2010 on my PC. I can still recieve emails fine. I have not changed my settings at all. I have however tried all the settings i can find on the support pages. PLEASE HELP

I can still receive icloud ( ME email address) emails fine. I have not changed my settings at all. I have however tried all the settings I can find on the support pages. PLEASE HELP. Nothing has changed. This suddenly just started happening around a month ago. To frustrate me apple does not seem to have a support email or any method to contact them with this issue to do with their email product. I have spent ages going through the apple support sites and I keep getting asked for an apple product to mark it against. I have no apple product as I am using a PC but I am accessing and using their email product. Is there even a phone number I can call? Surely there is a support area for their Email server issues. Can anyone help? It is driving me mad and causing me major issues. My outlook is Outlook 2010 on a windows 8 PC. As I have said it worked fine then one day decided to stop sending emails.
Thanks for your help.

How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here:

Greetings,
Questions:
What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
Troubleshooting:
Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
If that doesn't take care of it:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?

I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?

Log in on iCloud.com and go to Mail. In Mail, at the bottom left you should see a gear icon. Click on it, go to Settings (or Preferences, I'm doing this from memory), and in there you'll find an option to forward your iCloud email to another service.

The "read" emails in one of my 3 email accounts have disappeared. I changed no settings and checked the view and they are gone. I need them back! Help!

Suddenly my main email account is not showing the emails I've kept in line...the other accounts haven't changed at all. I changed no settings, checked everything, no tags are in place. I shut down the program and opened it and nothing. I need those messages back! Where could they be??? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
Sometimes the index of a mail folder (.msf) will get corrupted. If you right click on the name of the folder and select Properties, a 'Folder Properties' window will open. Select 'Repair Folder'. This may take care of the problem.
Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread or recent messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.
If you are still having problems, please look at the following items and respond with the information.
1) What operating system do you use (Win8, MAC, Linux, etc)?
2) Are you using IMAP or POP?
3) If your mail server has a browser interface (web mail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there?
4) Right click on the folder in question and select Properties.
a) Number of messages?
b) Size on disk?
5) Left click on the account name; View settings for this account; highlight Server settings;
What choices are marked under "When I delete a message"?
6) What, if any, antivirus program do you have installed?

Email regarding change to Verizon Outgoing & Incoming Email Settings. Is it SPAM???

Received this yesterday. Can anyone from Verizon chime in and state where it's spam or legit?
Dear Verizon Internet Customer,
At Verizon, we continue our efforts to enhance your online experience as well as ensure ongoing security for our Internet customers. As a result, Verizon Online has modified the way email is handled when sent or received through an email application other than MyVerizon.
If you only use MyVerizon to access your email account, no action is required and you may disregard this email. If you do, however, use other applications to access your Verizon email, such as Outlook Express®, you will need to modify your email settings to take advantage of enhanced security we now offer.
In order to make these modifications, please visit http://verizon.com/emailsettings for information about the email settings you need to update. Additional information may also be available by going to our online forum at http://forums.verizon.com/.
Thanks for being a valued Verizon Online customer and we encourage you to act now to ensure your email account has the proper settings on a going-forward basis.
Sincerely,
Verizon Online

Use the SEARCH, people!!! As has already been stated MANY times in MANY posts: Yes, it's legit.
The changes are not absolutely required yet, but they do add security.
