Configuration could not be verified

I have tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling Thunderbird five times now. Each time I go through the set up of an existing email account (since it WAS working for like 2 years until suddenly yesterday it wouldn't retrieve messages no matter what I tried). Contacted my hosting company to no avail. I can log into my webmail account through them (myurl.com/webmail) using my user name and password just fine.
When I go through set up, I click use an existing account then manual configuration because the outgoing mail port the host uses is 25 and my user name is the full email address, not just the first part of it. I get the error that says "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?" No. Neither. I've reentered it probably 20 times. Using IMAP not POP. Always used IMAP.
The computer this is happening on is running Windows 8. I tried installing it on a laptop at home that is running Windows 7 and everything worked fine. Like I said, this was working fine until yesterday. This Windows 8 computer is a 64-bit operating system, x-64 based processor.
Any ideas?

sounds like a firewall issue or anti virus ( they are indistinguishable really as most problems are anti virus firewalls anyway.)
Restarting the Machine in safe mode with Networking will disable anti virus firewalls and mail scanning and you will probably get on Ok. Let me know!

  • Configuration could not be verified error when connect to Cox

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect to Cox but keep getting the "configuration could not be verified" error. I can access my Cox account through web mail and I've retyped and retried my email address and password enough times to be confident that it's correct. I've also verified my account settings (incoming/outgoing server and ports) with Cox support, and I've checked the my firewall and antivirus settings (norton 360). No luck with anything.
    I'd really appreciate any thoughts anyone has!
    Thanks,
    David

    I should have added that my Cox connection has been set up several years now with no problems but suddenly quit working. I checked everything I know to check, including firewall settings, and finally deleted email account and tried to set it up again. Still getting the same error.

  • I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wron

    I have tried to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird because my Internet provider will stop e-mail support in the near future. I was able to add a hotmail account to Thunderbird, but I get the following error message when I try to receive e-mail in this hotmail account: "Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wrong?" (The hotmail website receives the e-mail.) User name and password is certainly correct. I have a 8.1 OS. Thank you.

    got an anti virus that thinks it should scan email. Turn that function off.
    Have a firewall, check that Thunderbird has full internet access, not some Auto rubbish that somehow fails.

  • Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?

    I run Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Downloaded and installed Tbird 31.1.1 today.
    Logged in to my Gmail account using copy and paste of my username and password from a file. I enabled IMAP. Logged out of my Gmail account.
    Turned off Windows Firewall. My task bar is red at me with 1 important message: Windows Security Center Service (Important) The Windows Security Center service is turned off.
    I have no antivirus software installed other than Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE.) I went to Control Panel | Programs and looked, finding nothing. This was to be expected because I haven't installed antivirus software before.
    Restarted in Safe Mode with networking, which seems to turn off MSE.
    Back in TB, I clicked Create a new account: Email. Entered my name, Google E-mail address, Google password. I used copy and paste to enter the same Gmail address and password that worked for my login minutes previously. It autopopulated the fields. I clicked Done. After a few seconds, got the error message:
    Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?
    So with no antivirus software, no firewall, and restarted in safe mode, what is the problem?
    Thanks.

    I tried again today without success. I have been able to get Tbird to download mail from a non-Gmail provider but not send messages with this non-Gmail account.
    I have enabled 2-factor authentication in Gmail for this account. I followed the instructions from Toad Hall at 9/20/14 1:28 PM here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1020778
    I got the password from Google and went to Tbird. I went to Tools | Options | Security | Passwords and deleted all the Gmail entries. I shut down and restarted Tbird. I highlighted the Gmail account I created and hit F5. Nothing at all happened. I deleted the account and tried to recreate the account again. I got the familiar error message that Tbird cannot set up the Gmail account. So now what?

  • Configuration could not be verified - My username and password are correct!

    I am trying to add a second gmail account to Thunderbird, but without success. The first addition went flawlessly.
    Now that I'm attempting the second, I am confronted with the error message "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"
    Answer = no. I have verified them by logging into gmail.com with IE several times, and made sure to log out afterwards to ensure no conflict. I do not use two-step verification with either accounts. I have tried to 'fool' google's email servers by capitalizing the outgoing SMTP letters (so as to differentiate from the previous login smtp letters), but thunderbird does not permit capitalization.
    I have not found any other *solved* forum posts that can help me with this problem. I'm running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird 31.2.0.
    This is a call for help.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

    That sounds like you're trying to create a new account. What exactly are you doing?

  • SQL version could not be verified error while installing the SCOM 2012 R2 reporting component

    I have the below SCOM server roles in my SCOM 2012 R2 set up

    While installing the SCOM 2012 R2 reporting component on DB2 ( Iam running this set up on the server where I instllaed the SQL DB engine and reportin services in Native mode. Configured the SQL reporting database and reporting URLs successfully in SQL reporting

    Hi,
    As far as I know, after installing SSRS, we don't need to configure the database and reporting URLs manully. When we install the reporting service for SCOM, it will configure those automatically.
    If possible, you may re-install SSRS and then install SCOM reporting service.

  • After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely

    After getting the dreaded gray/blue screen, I tried to run disk repair on the internal disk. I got an error message saying "Disk Utility can't repair this disk and restore your backed-up files. The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely." What do I do now? This is an iMac and I'm running 10.6.8.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it. See below for how to clone a drive.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    You may be able to backup your data if you have an erased external drive you can use. Before you do the above but after you have opened Disk Utility you can try to clone your drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Now this will only work if the drive is accessible and can be cloned by Disk Utility. Otherwise, you would need to access your drive from another Mac that you can connect via Firewire - Target Disk Mode.

  • Your computer could not be verified Mac App Store and FaceTime

    Hi All
    I've been trying through several forums for a long time to find a solution for my problem before giving up, I'll go down to the point:
    I have an iMac Intel 20" early 2008 (I can provide more detailed specs when required). I am using Mac OSX Lion installed from a usb and prior used Snow Leopard. They problem has been consistent thru all versions, same symptoms, same all.
    1. Whenever I try to login to Mac App Store I get the famous: "your computer could not be verified, please contact support for assistance". FaceTime also does not login, promptying a "server error, try later".
    2. Contacted support, and after 16 emails back and forth all I was told at the end was: "I am able to log in into your mac app store account from this side after resetting your account,is there anything I can do for you today".... (!!!!????)
    3. There has been a problem parallel to that, and although I am not sure they are related anyhow I need to point it out. My ethernet port stopped working and there is no way to create any connection through it. I can still use wireless quite well (reason why I still keep my machine). After sending the machine to repairs, diagnose was that it could be a problem on the logic board and to fix it may require to replace LB entirely. So I decided not to go for it and keep the machine only with wireless connection.
    So I have tried every single solution found (so far...) on google and forums to no avail: a) deleting .plist, b) resetting network configs and creating new locations, c) resetting PRAMs (not sure if it solve anything, but tried anyway) and others. The problem still persists with the same symptoms.
    I can login into iTunes store and buy applications from computer, iPhone and iPad, which makes me think that my credentials are valid, alas, I logged into this forum using them.
    I also tried creating a new account at App Store, when I request it through the Application, the "little fan that advises you to wait" appears, but suddenly dissapear with no warning or message at all (!!!!????). It is like you never requested anything in first place.
    Obviously I can still use my machine for internet and stuff, but my ability to purchase/use any Apple software is seriously restricted. I cannot purchase any software anymore if AppStore is going to be the main way to acquire it (which I think it will).
    So, my big questions are:
    1) Is this hardware problem (ethernet, logic board, connection ports) remotely related to the machine authentication process when using MacApp Store and FaceTime through Apple?
    2) Is there a way to fix this through software, before I consider replacing the machine? (Please take into account that I have already tried TS1811, deleting .plist files, resetting network, creating new locations from scratch... I basically searched thoroughly on google, forums and tips and tried all reasonable found recommendations before posting).
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Livia and Huevoos (eggs??) for your interest in this post.
    In a nutshell, I haven't been able to solve this. I gave up on Apple support after they proved useless.
    As Huevoos suggested, and I confirmed it time and again after browsing thru endless forums, it seems that the user validation routine for the Mac App Store is done by looking into your network settings, which in my case are either incomplete or erroneous due to the broken-down ethernet. (I am still waiting for somebody more experienced in this forum to contradict or explain this).
    So, because I still have wireless connection, I can use my machine for day-to-day chores, have not been able to purchase anything up to this date in the Mac App Store though. I'm waiting for either a software update that could correct this (Mountain Lion??? there's no guarantee only hope) or the moment when my machine will need to be replaced by a new one with a functional ethernet.
    I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But I'm pretty much in the same situation as you guys.
    Live long and prosper.

    I just tried to buy Mountain Lion but I am getting this message, yes, even after I reboot: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    I don't understand what this means? Is my MacBookPro too old to work with Mountain Lion?
